Jesus vs. The Grave

Who is Jesus? Jared Neusch and Connor Shram, two authors who love Jesus, want kids to meet the real Messiah.

Jesus is the core to understanding our faith in a deep and personal way. Introducing kids to Jesus at a young age can help them build a lifelong, unshakeable trust in him. The authors’ goal is to provide stories about Jesus that are fun and exciting, reflect the playful imagination God gave to each of his children, and reveal the radical, timeless example of Jesus’ message.

Even young children, through God’s help, are ready to know the real Jesus. That’s why each book in this series features key biblical values, presented in a fun, funny, engaging, and lasting way. The story of Jesus Is for Kids! Each book in the Jesus Is for Kids series will help children:

• Build their knowledge of who Jesus is
• Grow a deeper relationship with him
• And develop a love of Scripture

The third book in the series, Jesus vs. the Grave, is an entertaining read-aloud for parents, Sunday school teachers, and children’s ministry leaders to share with little ones. In this book the Grave is personified as a scary monster responsible for bringing sickness, death, and tragedy to people—even kids. In contrast, Jesus brings healing, life, and joy, restoring children back from the Grave. This book tells the gospel story of how Jesus triumphed over the monster once and for all. The Grave’s defeat is contrasted with values of healing, resurrection life, and restoration, and Christ’s triumph over death.

This picture book features:

• Full-color, humorous, detail-rich illustrations to capture and keep the attention of kids
