Publisher's Review
★A wondrous gospel story unfolding with beautiful illustrations
★Translated and audiobook read by pastor and literary critic Rev. Kim Ki-seok
★Special Foreword by Andrew Peterson (author of "The Wingfeather Saga")
A beautiful fairy tale for those who have forgotten the wonder of the gospel.
A moving picture book that tells the story of the gospel from creation to heaven!
Life begins and flows from the voice of God.
This loving person is full of life.
Being away from Him only brings pain and hurt.
In this imaginative book, Scott James tells the biblical story of salvation, beginning with God's creation, through the fall and fracture, to restoration, and the promise of reconciliation.
Through vivid words and beautiful illustrations, we can see how much God loves His people.
A Gospel Story in One Volume, From Creation to Crack to Restoration
At first, God's voice was heard in the darkness.
God created the world with His words, created man and woman, and gave them love.
But people turned away from God and went down the path of division.
In this way, the world became filled with people who loved their own voices more than God's voice, and it was filled with darkness, sorrow, and suffering.
God did not abandon such a world, but sent Jesus to save it.
He cared for people with love and planted the word of God in them.
Now people stand firm on it and spread the word of life to others.
Even now, God calls us with love.
We will meet Him face to face someday.
Scott James has captured the core story of the Bible—the gospel and salvation—from beginning to end in a single picture book, using parables, symbols, and metaphors.
God becomes the sower, planting and nurturing seeds in the world.
In his garden, people wither away, turning away from the Sower, the source of life.
But the sower does not abandon the garden, but continues to provide light and nutrients.
Just as a seed buried in the ground comes back up, He also gives His life for us, saving countless lives.
Those who hear this gospel and believe in it respond to God's call and sing a song of love.
And you will walk in the garden with God.
A story of life unfolding with beautiful pictures
This amazing and magnificent story is brought to life for readers through the beautiful illustrations of artist and printmaker Stephen Krotz.
Steven Krotz meticulously observes seeds planted in the ground as they sprout, sprout stems, and grow, then draws them and transfers them to woodblock, creating a unique style of painting.
The dots and lines he draws on wood with a chisel vividly portray the majesty and brilliance of the birth of life, the misery of a barren world, and a beautiful world overflowing with life again.
The image of a small seed growing into a forest, then losing its life and withering away, and then being reborn with life through God's love not only expands readers' imaginations and touches them, but also lingers long after the book is closed.
To those who have not yet heard the gospel and have forgotten its wonders
This book is not only for children, but also for those who have not yet heard the gospel story and for Christians who have become numb to the joy and grace contained in the gospel.
Life stories, beautifully illustrated, will open readers' hearts and make it easier to accept the words of truth.
Children who read this book will have endless Bible stories to share with their parents, from God's work of creation to His work of salvation.
Long ago, I heard stories of the gospel and salvation and my heart was filled with emotion and joy. But for those who have lost their meaning and are weary of the dryness of daily life, a breath of life-filled wind will blow into their hearts.
If you want to introduce the gospel to someone but don't know how, or if you lack the courage, simply handing them this book can be helpful.
Ministers and seminarians who preach the gospel and save lives can reflect on the true meaning of their mission: to sow seeds and make life grow.
“This book tells us how God renews the world and us.
Jesus said that the kingdom of God is like a seed.
You too.”
_From the preface of Andrew Peterson, author of “The Wingfeather Saga”
