Come and Hear the Story of Jesus Aaron M Francis

Come and Hear the Story of Jesus is a retelling of the Gospel of John for Children. The text will come alive as John tells the story to readers who live in a different place and time from when he experienced it. Many aspects of the story are not understood by readers today because of the cultural, historical, and linguistic differences between our time and theirs. In the first-person narrative style of this book, the apostle John tells the story in an engaging and thought-provoking way, while pointing the differences between our time and theirs, which affect the meaning of the story. What was so special about Mary's oil? What did Jesus mean when he said he was the Good Shepherd? Why was it such a big deal for Jesus to wash his disciples feet? Why were the Pharisees so upset about Jesus' healing miracles? Learn all this and more! Children will feel like active participants in the story as they are drawn into to the action and drama.
