At the Miracles of Jesus

by Alice W. Johnson, Allison H. Warner

The Believe...and You're There series is comprised of magical time-travel adventure books, each in a fast-paced, short-chapter format that targets young readers from 7 to 13. Transported through their grandmother's enchanted paintings, three contemporary children find themselves as witnesses to many of the central events of the scriptures. Against this background, scripture stories that may have been hard to understand and appreciate now sparkle with energy and meaning. In At the Miracles of Jesus while Matthew struggles with the temptation to "help" a popular friend by cheating at the school, the children return to Grandma's cottage hoping that another magic painting awaits. Grandma does not disappoint. As she reads, the children are conveyed to the shores of Galilee where, once again, they meet up with the family they met in Judea. Feeling the power of Jesus' love, Matthew finds the faith and determination to choose the right.

A book my son thought I should read. Kids go back in time to when Jesus is teaching at Galilee. It's a quick read and cute.
