The Gospels are four very short books that tell you about our Lord's life. You can read them quite fast.
The reason the same story takes so much longer to tell in this book is that the men who wrote the Gospels just went straight on and hardly even stopped to explain anything. They couldn't be expected to know how differently we would live, and that we would have forgotten how people dressed and spoke and built their houses, and the other customs they had in those days.
So
in this book, I have to stop and explain all the time, but after you have read it, a good deal of the explaining will have been done, and you can start reading the Gospels yourself anytime you want. -Marigold Hunt
This warm retelling of the life of Christ has the lucidity and dignity that marks the best books for children.
Speaking in language that children understand (and explaining terms they don't) author Marigold Hunt begins with Adam, moves quickly through the Old Testament, and then dwells at length on Jesus Himself. Children meet Jesus in
His goodness, His suffering, and His majesty.
Hunt includes devotions from to Bible (including the Magnificat, the Song of Simeon, and the Canticle of Zachary) as well a large number of Christ's parable whose meaning she explains.
A Life of Our Lord for Children helps young children make sense of Scripture After hearing this life of Christ, they' be more interested in Jesus and more attentive when they hear these same tales right from the Gospels themselves
