12 Stories Jesus Told

Twelve stories Jesus told, retold for children ages 4 to 8.

Jesus taught with stories: a farmer scattering seed, a stranger who stops on the road, a shepherd who goes after one lost sheep, a father who runs to meet his son. This book retells twelve of them from The Plain Word for reading aloud, in short sentences a child can follow. Each story takes two or three minutes at bedtime and keeps to what Jesus said.
