My favorite picture is when God makes Adam and Eve. He made the animals and everything! I want to read this book all the time! These six Sunday School lessons, based on the bestselling storybook The Garden, the Curtain and the Cross, take kids on a journey through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, thrilling them with God's loving determination for his people to enjoy life with him. Gloria Furman's endorsement of this book sums up my feeling too, "I am so excited about this book! It is colorful, engaging, and creative, and that's just the icing on the cake! Our children receive invitations to participate in many different stories, stories of who they are, their purpose, and what God is like. The Garden, the Curtain and the Crossis a brilliant re-telling of the one story that rules all other stories. I cannot commend this book highly enough. Read it to your children, give it to your neighbors, and talk about what it means to live in light of the fact that the curtain has been torn."

I am a father of four kids eight and under. So I read to them a lot. As far as religious kids' books, I like books that tell the old, old story well in a way that is both age appropriate and compelling. The Garden, the Curtain, and the Cross is a great book. It gives kids age five to eight (my test group) a big picture sense of why Jesus died and rose again. Author Carl Laberton tells a story which is accessible for my kids and true to scripture. His story is beautifully illustrated by Catalina Echeverri's stunning illustrations. On the first day I got this book, I already read it several times with my kids. It opened up a great conversation with my eight year old about what the Bible tells about sin and we loved talking about what was happening in the pictures.

A Six-Session Curriculum from Genesis to Revelation

A six-session Sunday School resource with age-differentiated lesson plans for 3-5s, 5-8s, and 8-12s Together with The Garden, The Curtain and The Cross storybook, these full colour, full size illustrations allow you to read the story while showing the pictures on screen. It is a very simple re-telling of the story of creation, the curtain in the temple, and the cross but is done in a way that is very clear and covers many plot points in the one story of redemption.

This book is illustrated beautifully, starting bright and colourful, going browny and harsh-looking in the middle, and then finishing with a return to the colours to match the message. This bestselling book is written by Carl Laferton, who is also the author of God's Big Promises Bible Storybook, and serves as series editor of the God's Word for You series. I’ve read a lot of children’s Bible storybooks. I’ve never read one that put the curtain of the Holy of Holies into central focus. And yet, it’s that veil that serves as a visual metaphor for the separation between God and humanity due to sin. As such, it’s the perfect visual focus point for an illustrated children’s bible story book.

Easter Family Devotional with 15-door Calendar

The Garden, the Curtain and the Cross is basic, short Biblical theology geared toward young children but captivating enough for older children as well. I loved the way my four year was fascinated with the illustrations and even keep pace with the story itself. My eight year old was engaged with the details of the Temple and the curtain. It was a great learning tool, especially helpful right before Easter.
