The Book of Jesus for Families
by Calvin Miller
Bethany Backyard - Bethany House, 2002
192 pages
Called an introduction to the "greatest Man who ever lived," this book is a smorgasbord of carefully selected stories, songs, parables, and poems about Jesus Christ. Calvin Miller, is a painter, poet, pastor, and best-selling Christian author. His 30+ published books include Into the Depths of God, The Unchained Soul, and a heartwarming novella entitled, simply, Snow.
 
Some of the readings are original by Miller himself, while others hail from writers like Charles Dickens, Pearl S. Buck, Miriam Mason, and Walter Wangerin. Beginning with Chapter One--"When Jesus Was a Little Boy"--families are drawn into the life of Jesus, his teachings, and his amazing miracles. Other chapter titles are:
Miller writes, "Christians have always believed that Jesus was the special friend of children. From the first time children go to church with their parents, they are taught that Jesus loves them...."
 
That love is reflected in this presentation of Jesus' life. It's a wonderful treasury, and an ideal, easy-to-understand tool for exploring Christ's teachings together.
