The Big Wide Welcome, A True Story About Jesus, James, and a Church That Learned to Love All Sorts of People

This beautiful hardback Bible storybook for 3-6-year-olds uses the Bible’s teaching on favouritism from James chapter 2 to encourage children to love and welcome people regardless of their wealth, personality or background, just like Jesus does. Jesus knows that everyone needs him to rescue them from their sin, and he welcomes anyone who is sorry and asks to be his friend. In this book, children will learn that Christians and churches are called to be like Jesus: to give a big, wide welcome to all kinds of people so that they can hear the good news for themselves.
