We were able to meet Anthony at the north Idaho state fair and bought both books in this series for our kids. They are wonderfully written, beautifully illustrated and share the basics of the great commission for children. As a parent I adore how at the back of the book Anthony has provided a guide to what each character/challenge in the story symbolizes and scriptural backing for each theme. Thank you Anthony!

A beautifully illustrated and rhymed telling of the Good Shepherd Parable

Loved this beautiful story with layers of discussion because of the beautiful illustrations and rhymes telling the story simply butwith a powerful message. This book will be a treasure always on your bookshelf and with your children.

My favorite series!

This book follows Nathaniel and his journey with Lion and his learning to be disciple, he introduces Nora, a lost lamb to Lion, a journey from anxious thoughts to learning to be loved and accepted.

A Christian story

This story is a Christian-based book about how Jesus protects those who come to Him. The illustrations are lovely, however, some children may find the wolves a little scary!

This is a lovely rhyming book on abiding. I love that we see the Nathaniel (who was found in the first book) being sent out by the lion to help others. I also love that Nora learns how to abide and when she focuses on the truths from the lion that the lies of the wolves don't seem so scary.
