Shadow of Death: A Child's Life of Christ (THEY MET JESUS) (Volume 7)By Katheryn Maddox HaddadDescription:CHILD'S VERSION. (Also available in regular and large-print adult versions.) Pilate was cornered by the people, Simon was cornered by the executioners. Jesus writhed in pain on the cross that should have been ours, and invaded hell to provide escape for us. The thieves struggled with their mortality, Joseph struggled with religiosity, the guards struggled with impossibility. Jesus saw the women, pursued Peter, and lifted up the mourners. Life application suggestions are at the end of each chapter. Book Takeaway:Come meet the people who met Jesus. You are one of them. Probably you are several of them. Go ahead and struggle with them as they did. Laugh. Cry. Do mental battle with him. Emotional battle too. Fight for your faith as they fought. Pause to listen for what you have never heard before. Then touch Jesus. This is the story of faith in the impossible. Hope in the inconceivable. Love for the invincible. It is the dreams of youth, the desperations of infirmity, the hopes of age, and the song of eternity. Why the author wrote this book:I wanted to show children how they can let Jesus affect their life, just as he did the lives of both grownups and children while on earth. |
