About this book

The life of Jesus told as one connected story, simply enough for a child to follow yet never childish — from the angel’s visit to Nazareth through the birth in Bethlehem, the boyhood in Galilee, the miracles and parables, the last supper and the cross, to the empty tomb and the ascension. Jesse Lyman Hurlbut keeps strictly to the four Gospels, adding no imaginary scenes, so that the youngest readers are led straight to the Bible itself. More than a hundred short chapters, each a single scene, make it made for reading aloud a story at a time.

Did you ever think that there is one man who has been talked about, and written about, and sung about, more than any other man in all the world; and that man is Jesus? For one book telling of Washington, or Napoleon, or Columbus, there are hundreds of books telling of Jesus.
