Jesus loved people. He blessed children. He told stories, taught lessons, and stretched out gentle hands to heal. These simple stories and vivid illustrations help young children see Jesus as a real person who did real things.

Tell Me the Stories of Jesus will begin to form in children's minds the outlines of a picture that will be filled in as they grow—the picture of Jesus as a caring, understanding, and trustworthy Friend.
