There are so many aspects to God's character! Help your child to explore and experience many of them through this beautiful book, 'Jesus Showed Us!' by Brad Jersak and illustrated by Shari-Anne Vis. I love Brad's books; he has a wonderful way of creating opportunities for both children and adults to encounter the Godhead through the truth of scripture and the leading of the Spirit.
The unusual images make this book stand out as something different and it certainly is! Each page focusses in on a different facet of the character of God through how Jesus lived. The main aim of the book is to show us that God is love, He is real, He is with us and He can be known by us.
I recommend savouring each page with your child and using as a launch pad to discovering more about God together. Why not use as a starter for prayer or an Adventure Time; you could imagine being in the moment that each image portrays, to draw near to Christ yourselves. Or explore the stories referred to in other bibles and storybooks to delve deeper into God's character!
A real treasure of a book to dip into again and again. Perfect for 4-8 year olds.
In every gospel story, Jesus showed us what God is like, because Jesus is "God with us."
What did Jesus show us? That God is perfect love! That God loves us!
