Sometimes reading a story from a different perspective helps you to understand the Bible better.
Ethel Barrett is a wonderful storyteller. She has researched the traditions and culture of the Jews at the time of Christ, to tell the story of Joe (Joseph) a young boy, living with his grandmother in Jerusalem. Joe learns the lesson of needing his sins cleansed by the blood of a lamb. He also meets Jesus, the Lamb of God, who dies for his sins on the cross.
This is a great book for children who have grown up hearing Bible stories, who are familiar with the story of Jesus' death and resurrection. They can imagine themselves in the life of Joe and his encounter with Jesus.
