The Parables of Jesus for Kids

About this book

Jesus taught with seeds, sheep, coins, and dinner parties, because he was talking to people who knew about seeds, sheep, coins, and dinner parties. This book takes him at his word and gives children forty six of those stories in a form they can get their hands into.

Every parable gets a complete chapter. The story is retold in clear language a child can follow without an adult translating every second sentence. Then comes a short devotional that asks what it means, a word game that keeps a child in the story rather than skimming past it, and a coloring page to finish.

Because each chapter is self contained, it fits wherever you have ten minutes: a bedtime reading, a Sunday school session, a homeschool morning, or a car journey with a pencil. Children can work through it alone once they are reading confidently, and younger ones can do it with a grown up reading aloud.

Forty six parables is nearly all of them, which makes this a full year of Wednesday nights rather than a handful of the famous ones.
