The Prisoners, the Earthquake, and the Midnight Song - A true story about how God uses people to save people

Using simple sentences and stunning illustrations, this 16-page board book retells the story of Paul and the Philippian jailer. From the sounds of Paul and Silas singing at midnight to the scary rumbling of an earthquake, young children are encouraged to imagine each sound as they follow the story. Finally, with the sound of singing, they rejoice with the jailer and his family as they all become followers of Jesus Christ.

A really lovely board book that's clear on the gospel but very simple. It tells the story in an easy-to-understand way but doesn't lose any of the core message. I'd definitely recommend for a young child who is able to read or could follow along while a parent or grandparent read. Catalina's illustrations are lovely and are my favourite bit! Ben Horrex
