The Gospels - OWCGSTG

After Jesus died and rose, his disciples continued to preach: proclaiming Christ’s resurrection, spreading his teachings, and recalling many facts about the life of Jesus on earth. This is how the Gospels came to be written.

This edition of The Gospels is specifically designed for children to encourage them to come to know Jesus and to foster their love of Scripture. Included are the first four books of the New Testament, written by the evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and selected verses from the Psalms, Isaiah, the Acts of the Apostles, and Revelation. With The Gospels, children will continue their study and meditation of God’s Word.

This book is an ideal gift for children preparing for or have celebrated first Communion or confirmation, or those who are on a journey towards Christian Initiation. It includes:

• Easy-to-read text and full-page layouts to help children hone their reading skills
• Full color design to engage the reader with the text
• Embellished initial caps and numerals to help children identify the beginnings of each chapter
• Images of the evangelists and visual representations of the land and places of Jesus’ time
