The Good Samaritan and 17 More Stories from the New Testament is a beautifully retold collection of children's Bible stories written by V. Gilbert Beers and Ronald A. Beers, celebrated authors with over 100 children's books and more than 17 million copies sold. Designed especially for young readers, this book brings to life some of the most memorable miracles, parables, and teachings of Jesus with clarity, warmth, and reverence.
The collection includes 18 stories from the New Testament that reflect Jesus' love, compassion, and power. Each story is short, engaging, and written in simple language perfect for family reading or Sunday school use. From the miracle of A Wonderful Catch of Fish to the compassion shown in The Good Samaritan, each story teaches moral values and spiritual lessons. Children will marvel at Jesus calming a storm, walking on water, healing ten lepers, and feeding thousands with just a few loaves and fish. Stories like Zacchaeus Climbs a Tree and The Lost Sheep emphasize God's love for individuals, while The Young Man Who Ran Away presents an age-old lesson about choices and consequences.
Adding to its value, each story features a QR code that links to a word-for-word audio read-along, making it an excellent resource for emerging readers and auditory learners.
