A children's picture book that tells the big story of the Bible. From creation's garden to final city.
A theological telling of the great narrative. This book is the story I wish I knew growing up. It is purposeful, joyful and life shaping.
It's all too easy to think of the Bible as a whole collection of small stories that don't relate to each other. Is there really a story that goes all the way from the garden of Eden to the city of Revelation? Yes there is! That story includes 3 perfect invitations that flow right through the history of Israel, through the life of Jesus and into the mission of the Church.
Does that story have a place for you? Yes it absolutely does. This book has come out of a class on Biblical Theology - it thoughtfully offers an invitational, poetic, colourful story of how the Big Story is filled with love and purpose and there is a space for all of us to come in and be part of it. Perfect for children (and adults).
Early praise for the book:
The illustrations are beautiful and thought provoking and the text draws the reader in to the grand narrative of scripture. There are plenty of openings for inquisitive minds to start wondering. Philippa Isom - Teacher Educator
Want to tell the story well? Love books that are beautifully written and deeply meaningful? Work with children in faith areas? Have babies, grandbabies, nieces or nephews or special little people in your life? This is the book for you.
I'm Miriam - author/illustrator/maker/stitcher/life-enthusiast and a teacher training teachers. I'm also working on a Masters of Theology at Laidlaw College in beautiful Christchurch NZ. I've taught in three countries, written and lead children's church, and speak professionally (also general drama queen). Speaker of basic Te Reo Māori and NZSL (New Zealand sign language). Passionate about a world where there is room for everyone and their voices at the table.
Thank you for being part of this project.
