Who is Jesus? The answer is beautiful, complex, and profound. He is the eternal Son of God—the Savior, the Lord, the Ancient of Days. And the Bible tells us He is also the friend of sinners. Join David Wollen and children’s author Sally Lloyd-Jones as they explore this incredible truth in a new series on The Great Stories Podcast in an episode titled Sally Lloyd-Jones and Our Friend Jesus.
Jesus Our True Friend
Discover the heart of the Savior in Jesus Our True Friend—a beautifully written collection of seven “Good News” stories that bring the life of Jesus to young readers with warmth, wonder, and joy.
Beloved author Sally Lloyd-Jones, creator of The Jesus Storybook Bible, retells key moments from Jesus’ life—including miracles like the Wedding at Cana and the Miraculous Catch of Fish, parables like the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son, and tender encounters with Mary and Martha. Each story shines with the truth of God’s love for the lost, the hurting, and the everyday people Jesus came to rescue—and for us too!
Paired with Jago’s rich, expressive illustrations, this book invites children to see Jesus not only as their Rescuer, but as their true and forever friend. Perfect for bedtime reading, family devotions, or Sunday school, Jesus Our True Friend helps kids grasp the Good News: “What Jesus has done to bring us back home to God—and mend God’s broken world.”
