Discover the events in the life of Jesus, and how his message reached so many people Read the story of the life of Jesus of Nazareth, son of God, from his birth in the Bethlehem stable to his crucifixion, death, and miraculous resurrection.

Using the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John as reference, this is a child-friendly introduction to the message of the Bible's New Testament.
