Dear Jesus

by Brett Anderson

A story about a boy imagining what it might have been like to grow up in a childhood friendship with Jesus, also as a little boy. The story begins with a parallel reflection all the way back to two thousand years ago, starting with a baby in a manger. Together, they experience the joys and fears of boyhood - right up to the redemptive plan of a cross... cut from the very tree they both climbed and embraced as little boys. The story rhyme is told from the viewpoint of that same little boy, now much older, as he reflects on the precious gift of a loving friend and Savior in Jesus. "A fresh and interactive way to share the Gospel story with children."
