Do you want to make the core message of the Bible come alive for kids?
Your kids are still young, but you want to be sure they understand the gospel message. Maybe your grandkids are growing up without any knowledge of God. How can you clearly, in a non-offensive way, teach them the gospel?
You may have all sorts of books of Bible stories for your kids and you talk about God whenever you can, but because of the graphic nature of the story of salvation, it’s hard to know just how to present it. You’re never sure if they’ve gotten enough of the story to actually believe.
What if there was a book that covered clearly but sensitively the core of the gospel message in such a way that kids could understand it? A story that dealt head-on with issues like good and evil? Something that when read to kids would make them see why Jesus' death and resurrection are so important and what it means for them.

Can I give it 10 out of 5 stars?By: eiluj03 August 17, 2008
This is the clearest gospel teaching book I have seen for kids. Ever. Its tone (both in graphics and text) is serious but beautiful and simple to understand. I have been buying books for my church library and I have yet to find one that is as clear on the gospel without being really drawn out (The Lamb has ten short chapters). It has cleared up adults’ understanding of the gospel as they understand with clarity the old testament lamb sacrifice and how that was foreshadowing Christ: our lamb.
Ultimately, our focus should be the greatness of the message of the gospel. But this book is an excellent for getting that message across--I am so happy to have been introduced to it.
The gospel in simple language without leaving out key truthsBy: gracefaithway June 27, 2008
This book draws out the truths of the scriptures in a simple story format while avoiding difficult language or clichés that can confuse a child’s understanding of salvation. I bought this book to read in Sunday school as well as to my 4 year old and 8 year old daughters at home. The full color illustrations are vibrant and hold their attention. The story is a slow progression with excellent questions at the end of each chapter to ensure comprehension. The story clearly shows who God is in His Holy character and perfect nature. The fall of mankind is made evident resulting in man’s just deserved punishment of Hell. This book doesn’t shelter children from the truths of scripture like the shedding of the innocent lamb’s blood in sinful man’s place, but makes these truths evident in a respectful and Christ-honoring manner. It is essential that even children understand that “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.” Sin requires death and that innocent lamb died in the place of the guilty sinner. I have found that this book is a springboard for conversations with my girls about God’s character and nature during normal daily activities (i.e., dinner, a car ride, shopping, etc.). Our world is so filled with entertainment that Christ is almost squeezed out of our mindset. We also have the lamb DVD that we watch as a family and it entertains us all while teaching us timeless truths. I highly recommend this book for your children or as a gift. I can envision the very real possibility of an unsaved adult being saved while reading this book to their children or grand-children (that is my prayer for my own mother).
