Jesus often told stories using everyday objects to help his listeners understand life with God. But for most of us, the deep imagery and meaning behind those objects has been lost to history. With a 2-page spread per topic, good illustrations and various kinds of infographic elements, this book helps us understand Jesus' world and have deeper understanding of his sayings and parables. While the text is leveled for age 9 and up, the illustrations make the book accessible to earlier readers.

This book is so informational about the context of the time that Jesus lived in. It gives a lot of cultural and historical background to give children a better understanding of the story of Jesus. I want to buy this book for my kids someday, even I learned things from it.
