The Gospel of Mark for Little Ones

In Mark 9 & 10, Jesus explains to his disciples that they must become like little children to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. How can we grow in childlike trust? We can be generous like the boy in Mark 6, whose food is the means of a miracle. We can be persistent like the mother in Mark 7 and honest about our shortcomings like the father in Mark 9; in both cases, the childlike faith of the parents prompts Jesus to heal their children.

Author Sara Beth Meyer and illustrator Allison Hsu, both working mothers, perfect a format and design created in their first book, The Gospel of Matthew for Little Ones. In The Gospel of Mark for Little Ones, readers of all ages are invited to journey with Jesus from the Baptism in the Jordan to the Resurrection on Easter morning. Told in delightful rhyming stanzas and depicted in beautiful watercolor illustrations, the Gospel message comes alive and remains Good News for all to enjoy.

May we grow in faith, hope and love each day, trusting in our Father at all times and following our brother Jesus all the way home.

Endorsements:

I highly recommend The Gospel for Little Ones series for any parent or catechist desiring to hand on the faith to our children. The rhythmic writing is engaging and follows the basic chapter outline of the actual gospel text.

These books teach little ones about the life of Christ and yet do not sacrifice gospel context as they begin to learn the chapters of the gospels themselves. Beautifully animated and written with great care, your child will learn and grow in their relationship with the Lord Jesus, who loves His little ones! — Bishop David L. Toups, Diocese of Beaumont
