Best-selling author Marty Machowski brings the New Testament to life from an unexpected point of view in The Death and the Victory. Through vivid, imaginative storytelling and Blair Files' lively illustrations, young readers experience key events from Jesus' death through Revelation as seen by animals who could have witnessed them.
On a rocky hill outside Jerusalem, jerboas watch as the one they call the King hangs on the cross. The earth trembles, rocks split, and tombs open. A dove says, "They will take Jesus's body and lay him in a tomb. The serpents think theyve won a victory, but on the third day Jesus will rise, just as he said. The serpents dont realize that darkness has already been defeated and soon Jesus will appear9alive!" Join jerboas at the cross, horses at Christ's empty tomb, leopards at the ascension, turtledoves at Pentecost, squirrels following Saul to Damascus, and animals on Patmos with John.
The Death and the Victory is the fourth and final volume in the Redemption Tales series for ages 8-12. Each chapter includes Bible study questions that help children distinguish creative retelling from the biblical account and point them back to the truth of God's overarching story of redemption.
