In the Gospel of John, relationships are so important that we know others in relation to Jesus rather than by name: His Father, His beloved disciple, and the ever faithful mother of Jesus. In John 12, Jesus encourages listeners to become children of the light. In John 13, He calls His disciples His children, and in John 14, Jesus promises not to leave them orphans. Author Sara Beth Meyer and illustrator Allison Hsu, both working mothers, perfect a format and design created in their first three books, The Gospel of Matthew for Little Ones, The Gospel of Mark for Little Ones, and The Gospel of Luke for Little Ones. Told in delightful rhyming stanzas and depicted in beautiful watercolor illustrations, the Gospel message comes alive and remains Good News for all to enjoy. May we become children of the light, beloved disciples who share a tender love for the mother of Jesus, knowing that we will never be orphaned by our Savior or His Heavenly Father.
