What About the Children?

How much does Jesus love children? This much

Jesus showed how much He loves and values children by:

• Personally welcoming them
• Healing them
• Delivering them from evil
• Using a child's resources to feed thousands.

Vividly collaged art brings Bible accounts of Jesus interacting with children alive--from disciples pointing at themselves for being the greatest, to an abstract painting of angels of children beholding the face of God in heaven. Reflective questions will lead children into discovering how much Jesus loves them.

Through her beautifully vivid illustrations, Marcia Carole Gladwish engages the reader in stories of Jesus' deep love for children. This theme of His affection for children is woven throughout the journey the reader takes, seeing Jesus champion, defend, heal, restore and befriend them. The reflective questions at the end of each story are an effective way to draw even the youngest readers into a meaningful connection with Jesus and His love for them.
