Long ago lived a man named Jesus. He had a very important message to tell: the God who made the world loves you. You are very special to God. People listened to Jesus. They watched all he did. Many learned to love him. As they did so, they came to know more about God's great love for them. Ever since, people have wanted to know about Jesus' life so they can learn to love and know they are loved. Here is a little life of Jesus for children who are learning to love him.

An everyday theme is taken that children should recognize and understand through the simple words and pictures.

There is also an introductory spread and a closing spread. The latter provides a summary and ideas for finding out more through reading suggested Bible extracts.
