Jesus, Our True Friend
Jesus, Our True Friend
An all-new collection of seven Bible stories about the life and nature of Jesus, from the creators of The Jesus Storybook Bible, Sally Lloyd-Jones and Jago. Each story explores who Jesus is and how he loves us, sharing the joyful news that he is a true friend and Savior to us all.
Jesus, Our True Friend is a beautiful collection of seven stories from Jesus’ life that share the good news—that our Rescuer has come to mend God’s broken world, bring us back to God, and show us what Love is really like. From Sally Lloyd-Jones and Jago, the creators of the beloved and bestselling The Jesus Storybook Bible, these stories will fill your heart with joy as you come to understand just how deep God’s love is for you.
Jesus, Our True Friend tells the stories of Jesus’ life in beautiful, lyrical prose—and captures their deep theological truth in words even a child can understand. This seven-story collection includes miracles from Jesus’ life like the Wedding at Cana and the Miraculous Catch of Fish, parables Jesus told like the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son, and people Jesus met like Mary and Martha. These stories showcase Jesus’ great love and deep empathy for the lost, the outcast, the suffering, as well as for his friends and his followers. And for us, too.
Fully illustrated with inspiring art by Jago, Jesus, Our True Friend has a large trim size perfect for reading aloud, and deluxe features that make it a beautiful gift or keepsake to treasure and read time and again. Also featuring a special introduction and paraphrase of John 1 written by New York Times bestselling author Sally Lloyd-Jones, this book is essential for fans of The Jesus Storybook Bible and perfect for anyone wanting to know more about who Jesus is, how he lived, and what he taught.
