No, the Bible isn’t a book of rules, or a book of heroes. The Bible is most of all a Story. It’s an adventure story about a young Hero who comes from a far country to win back his lost treasure. It’s a love story about a brave Prince who leaves his palace, his throne—everything—to rescue the one he loves. It’s like the most wonderful of fairy tales that has come true in real life.

I have to share this with you today as I am studying Mark 10:13-16.
In those three short verses Jesus gives children equality, importance & love. All three of which they did not always have in the ancient world (and now).

I looooooove this book! Purchased it for myself about four years ago and can't wait to have children to share it with.
