Teach children about Jesus’ return and why it’s so surprising.
This beautifully-illustrated hardback book by singer and TV presenter Randall Goodgame is based on the parable in Luke 12 v 35–38.
It teaches children that Jesus will return and when he does there will be an amazing party where ... SURPRISE! ... he will serve his faithful servants! Jesus didn’t tell us when that party will be, but we can make sure that we’re ready for it by loving him and loving his people while we wait.

Written by Melissa Krueger and illustrated by Isobel Lundie, published by The Good Book for Children. This illustrated, rhyming book will help parents explain to children the unique and wonderful Christian message of God’s grace—that Jesus offers forgiveness and allows us to move on from our mistakes.
It can be used to share the heart of the Christian faith with children or to remind them that Jesus is the person to run to when they mess up.
Children will learn that God’s grace is enough to cleanse and change us every day, as the book itself says...
My child, here’s the truth: From God, you can’t hide He sees what you’ve done He knows what’s inside
But please don’t despair There’s good news, I say! Whatever you do God’s grace makes a way
Yes, his grace is enough It’s so big and so free His grace is enough Both for you and for me
This beautiful hardback book makes a great gift for children aged 3-6 and even beyond.
Teach young children that Jesus came to end goodbyes. Jesus knew how scary it is when someone gets really sick. He knew how sad it is when someone dies. Jesus cried when his friend, Lazarus, died. But he did something at his friend’s tomb that changed everything. He showed that he came to give his friend’s life in the land that lies after our dying. In this vivid, moving and exciting retelling of the story of Lazarus, Lauren Chandler helps children understand how Jesus makes all the difference to death. Children will see that because Jesus rose from death, he has power over it and all who believe in him will also rise, just as Lazarus did. The author, Lauren Chandler, used the story of Lazarus to help her own children come to terms with her husband’s (Matt Chandler) brain tumor. Whether children are coming to terms with the illness or death of a loved one, or simply fearful of when that day might come, this book reassures them with the amazing truth that Jesus came to to say goodbye to goodbyes — forever.

Teach children about two extraordinary events in history when the God of the Bible proved himself to be the one true God.
Kids today are faced with a huge range of different views on who God is (or isn’t). How can they be sure who’s got it right?
This beautifully illustrated hardback storybook for children aged 3-6 is written by the team behind The Garden, the Curtain and the Cross. It retells two extraordinary events in history when the God of the Bible proved himself to be the one true God.
First it takes children back to Elijah’s time and the gripping “God contest” between the God of the Bible, Yahweh, and the false god Baal. Then it fast-forwards to a different mountain and another “God contest” at an empty tomb.
Once the evidence is examined, it invites kids, in a world of so many options, to decide with confidence to join Team Jesus.
Carl Laferton is EVP Publishing/Editorial Director at TGBC. He is the bestselling author of the kids’ books The Garden, the Curtain and the Cross and The God Contest, and also serves as series editor of the God’s Word For You series. Before joining TGBC, he worked as a journalist, a teacher, and pastored a congregation in Hull. Carl is married to Lizzie and they have two children, Benjamin and Abigail. He studied history at Oxford University.

Sammy and His Shepherd, by Susan Hunt, chapter 1 & 2
Published by Reformation Trust
Read by Mimi
"In Sammy and His Shepherd, veteran children’s writer Susan Hunt takes youngsters on a delightful trip through Psalm 23 from the point of view of a sheep named Sammy.
Sammy lives happily under the care of his faithful shepherd. But one day he meets a sheep from another flock, one who lives in misery because her shepherd is not so caring. Eventually, to the delight of both of them, Sammy’s shepherd buys the needy little sheep for his flock and gives her a name―Precious. Thereafter, Sammy tells Precious all the wonderful things about their shepherd. At first, Precious has a hard time believing that the shepherd can be so good. But eventually, as she sees the shepherd pouring out his energies for the good of his flock, she comes to trust him, for she sees that he loves his sheep unconditionally and sacrificially.
Each chapter of Sammy and His Shepherd is an exploration of a passage from Psalm 23. As they work through the book, children will grow in their understanding of the metaphors the psalmist used in composing this beloved poem. But more important, they will gain a deeper appreciation for the one who is the subject of the psalm: the Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ. Captivating illustrations by Corey Godbey help Sammy and Precious come to life for children. A special section in the back of the book provides Bible passages, discussion questions, and activities to reinforce the lessons of each chapter."
The Jesus Storybook Bible: Every Story Whispers His Name, by Sally Lloyd-Jones

From the Old Testament through the New Testament, as the Story unfolds, children will clearly see that Jesus is at the center of God's great story of salvation—and at the center of their story too."

When that little voice in your head tells you that you shouldn’t be doing what you’re doing, do you listen to it? Emma is a little girl whose Mommy explains to her that the little voice in her head is her conscience – a gift from God that tells her whether something is wrong or right. She explains how we can have a clean conscience because of Jesus, and how we train our consciences to work better by understanding the Bible.

"God’s Big WORLD is the one-of-a-kind current events program for beginning readers. God’s Big WORLD is designed, written, and illustrated to satisfy a young child's God-given thirst for knowledge, and to do so in meaningful, and developmentally appropriate ways.
The colorful magazines (six bimonthly issues delivered year-round) are designed to pull apart into eight convenient weekly lessons. Each lesson includes three stories and a skill-building activity. The big pictures ignite children’s interest, and the controlled vocabulary in the accompanying text builds confidence in early readers. A Read to Me section takes the content a bit deeper. This additional information is written for adults to share out loud with pre- and early readers.
God’s Big WORLD also includes safe and easy-to-use online materials. Use a computer or mobile device to let your early reader explore the fascinating stories and more pictures (with captions) than the printed pages hold.
The stories in God's Big WORLD cover a wide variety of topics throughout the year. Story by story, your child’s sphere of knowledge will grow and deepen. But regardless of the topic, every story includes a related Bible verse to read with your child, showing how God’s word is relevant to all of life."

God Made Me AND You: Celebrating God's Design for Ethnic Diversity
"This beautifully illustrated children's book invites kids to explore God's design for ethnic diversity and challenges readers both parents and children to learn and live out counter-cultural, biblical views, fostering a lifelong celebration of diversity for the glory of God. Designed for four to eleven-year-olds, God Made Me and You by Shai Linne is the second book in the God Made Me series, starting with God Made All of Me by Justin and Lindsey Holcomb.
Because biblical Scripture teaches that ethnic diversity is not something that should be tolerated but rather enthusiastically embraced, Christian hip hop artist Shai Linne helps children, parents, and caregivers to celebrate this biblical truth through a lyrical, rhyming style and colorful illustrations."

"Helps children to see the gospel heart of the whole Bible as they discover how Daniel points to Jesus. The story of Daniel and the Lions’ Den teaches children many things... It teaches them about praying; it teaches them about Daniel’s faithfulness to God, and God’s faithfulness to Daniel; and it teaches them that God is the real king of everyone everywhere.
But if you peel back another layer, you’ll see that like the rest of the Old Testament, it also points to Jesus. This stunningly illustrated retelling of Daniel and the lions’ den helps children to see Jesus in the story of Daniel. It challenges children to spot the Jesus moments by looking out for the hidden lion symbols. It goes on to explain the parallels between Jesus and Daniel, so that children can see the gospel heart of the whole Bible."

"A sweet story that helps children ages 3-7 recognize that potential friends are all around them, while reinforcing that Jesus is the best friend of all.
For any adult who ever wanted to introduce kids to the friendship of Jesus, Noël Piper's sequel to Most of All, Jesus Loves You! is a wonderful choice.
The story begins with a little boy whose family has just moved to a new place. As he sits on his front steps calling out for friends, he is surrounded by a diversity of would-be friends-up and down the street, in windows, around corners; he just can't see them yet. Before long, though, he finds them and they find him.
Then the story broadens: "Do you want a friend too?"-"a friend who… loves you? comforts you when you are sad or sick? helps you know God? makes you happy? forgives you when you do something wrong? will save you from danger?" Pointing to Jesus as the only one who cares for us in all these ways, all the time, this colorfully illustrated book helps three- to seven-year-olds recognize Jesus as the best friend of all."
