ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Andrew is the creator, writer, and illustrator of the Lost Sheep series. Way back in 1989 as a young Bible college student, Andrew was asked to give the dreaded “children’s talk” at a large church. Andrew possessed one talent: he could draw sheep. He bought some overhead projector sheets and drew up the story of Cecil and the Lost Sheep. T he congregation loved it, so Andrew continued to draw stories to use with kids and adults. Other students, pastors, and teachers started borrowing the stories.Product Details:

My Thoughts:
Bright, colorful and with a very modern-day interpretation of appearance, Jesus and the Children presents the story found in Mark 10: 13-16 when Jesus taught his disciples a very important lesson: His Kingdom was for kids! Everyone must learn the importance of child-like faith, for it is through this faith that we all enter Christ's kingdom. This colorful book includes suggested questions and topics of discussion to use with children after the story is complete, and opens the door to share the gospel with the children so dear to Christ's heart. I would recommend this to anyone with toddler's in the home, in the nursery or in your life in any way! It would make a useful and fun ministry tool.
