Big Thoughts for Little Thinkers: Jesus (Download)

I love that they expanded this series. It is good theology explained in simple terms, but it is NOT watered down. Children can understand more than they are often given credit for, and faith is simple to them.
This particular book deals with who Jesus is and what He did. It deals with His place in the trinity, His humanity, His display of divine power, His mercy, His ultimate sacrifice, and His second coming. I will note that although the emphasis is on Christ's sacrifice, I think it could be more clear that although the people crucified Jesus, it was His choice to permit them and to die. I would not say it is incorrect the way it was phrased, just incomplete. So that is a conversation worth having as you read through with your child.

The books in this series have been a springboard to some great conversations with our children. Deep truths are explained in a conversational style, at a level even young children can relate to, and I am glad they have added to the series! I love how the author presents Jesus as a real Person in history, but as truly God - a member of the Trinity. The gospel is presented from the fall to the resurrection, all focusing on the life of Christ and showing various aspects of His character and what that means for a believer. It ends with a call to share with others while we eagerly await His return!
