The parables and teachings of Jesus are brought to life in this stunning picture book from award-winning author and illustrator John Hendrix

 

But Jesus was going somewhere.
His journey to find those most in need of him began anew each morning.
Jesus walked . . . and ever since, people have followed him.

 

Through parables of the good Samaritan and the prodigal son, the lost sheep and the beatitudes, Jesus taught his disciples the redeeming power of sacrificial love and showed mercy to everyone around him--especially the sick, the poor, and the downtrodden.

 

In this inspirational and richly illustrated book, John Hendrix brings to life the wisdom of Jesus. Interweaving hand lettering with his signature, award-winning art style, Hendrix captures the spirit of Jesus's timeless message that will resonate with readers of any Christian faith.

 

Westminster Bookstore Note: This book contains cartoon or artistic images of Jesus. There are many people in our constituency who, in a sincere effort to honor the second commandment, refrain from the use of any kind of drawings or pictures of Jesus, even if not intended for a worship context. Out of respect for those who take this position, we have sought to add a note to books in our children’s category which have drawings or depictions of Jesus so that they can factor that into their buying decisions, as they would if they could inspect the books physically.

“The narrative itself is as welcoming to explorers as to believers. This title, which melds contemporary visual expression with centuries-old artistic tradition, will be particularly valued for multigenerational shared Bible reading.”
