Description

Beloved human rights activist and 1984 Nobel Peace Prize recipient Archbishop Desmond Tutu teams up with some of the finest artists around the world to retell eighteen of his most treasured New Testament stories, artfully highlighting both the biblical message and the rich cultural heritage of each illustrator.

A perfect gift for Easter and Christmas, Archbishop Tutu's wisdom, compassion, and sense of humor shines through every page, celebrating children all over the world by showing them how we are all made in God's image. My Jesus Story Collection is great for ages 4 to 8 and features:

• A foreword by the Most Reverend Michael Bruce Curry, who delivered a riveting sermon at the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

• 18 stories, each ending with a short prayer that further personalizes the message for every reader's own life

• Illustrations from artists including Jago, E.B. Lewis, Javaka Steptoe, and Xiao Xin that illustrate this diverse and multicultural collection of stories about Jesus, based on content found in The Children of God Storybook Bible (with nearly 150,000 copies sold)

The stunning full-color illustrations throughout My Jesus Story Collection allow readers to experience Jesus's life--from the beginning of his ministry through his ascension--in a way they never have before: through people who look like them, in words and images that speak to their heart.
