because jesus was there

A.M. Everett, illustrated by Ian mac

These days many books for children are telling our kids, “You are enough. You can be your own hero.” As believers in Jesus, we get to teach our kids something different. Something better.

Jesus is our hero, and we have the joy of sharing our hope in Him with our kids. When emotions and circumstances feel too hard to handle, we don’t have to be strong. Instead, we can trust in Jesus’ strength to carry us through!

Because Jesus Was There walks through several key moments in Jesus’ life and the life of His followers where He revealed His faithfulness and steadfast love to His people, despite trying circumstances.
