When Nel Stewart returns home due to the sudden death of her mother, she realizes her beloved father, Jakob, is struggling with dementia.

More than a collection of Bible stories, this vividly illustrated children's book tells the big picture of the Bible --- from the creation of the world to the calling of Israel to Jesus's victory over death. Many Bible storybooks offer stand-alone stories, which reduces biblical narrative to moral fables rather than showing how they are a part of a larger redemptive drama. Designed for children ages 4 to 8, THE STORY OF KING JESUS is the gospel told in a single story --- one designed to be read in one sitting.
