“We will be saved by the blood of a lamb which must be painted on the doorposts of the house.”
“Strange thing!” wondered Caleb’s mother. “The blood of a lamb? How can that save us?”

What a beautiful story. As Dr. Joel Beeke wrote: “Read it aloud to your children, and use it to teach them the gospel.”

My dad's reading this aloud to us, one chapter every Sunday. Or one chapter every month. It really depends on if we remember it or not. ;)

This book beautifully reveals the Passover story for children. The heartfelt story brings to life the price of atonement.
