Now, I know you are thinking, aren’t there enough books about Jesus on the market? Yep, there probably are but I am here to tell you that The Story of King Jesus by Ben Irwin is on a shelf of it’s own. The traditional symbolic gestures that normally surround christian children’s books are not the prominent features.
And while that might disappoint some, I loved the fresh perspective that weavs the story from Genesis through the Gospels. Each step emphasizing how Jesus has been a prominent person since the beginning of time. While the book does spread the Good News the string that holds it all together are these simple thoughts:
The people tried to do it themselves.
They wanted to do things their own way.
They wanted to be in charge of themselves.
BUT
The people.
They needed God.
God needed his people.
And He made a way.
A beautiful, amazing way.
We call him King Jesus.

The book sounds adorable! Also, totally love that your little ones are book junkies!
The colors and illustrations are just gorgeous!! We love faith based books. We don’t attend church but still would like our son to know and have god in his life as we do!
We are going to have to order this book, it looks great. Hope my baby girl is going to have a love for books as her parents do!
This book looks great! Sounds similar to the Jesus Storybook Bible, which we love.
This book sounds fantastic! I really agree that one can never have to many books.
I think I need to get this book for my kids.
My sister bought this for my nephew. He loves it. I agree with previous posts the illustrations are great!
