The Story of Jesus

A Christian Book for Kids

The life and teachings of Jesus and the foundation of the Christian faith are introduced in this beautifully illustrated Big Golden Book edition of the best-selling Little Golden Book.

This introduction to the biblical account of Jesus’s life, teachings, and miracles is perfect for preschoolers. Stories of Jesus's birth in Bethlehem and ministry with His disciples, to tales of people He helped and healed, are included in this Big Golden Book edition.
