Who Is Jesus? 40 Pictures to Share with Your Family

How do you help a child get to know someone they can’t see and hear? In Who Is Jesus? author Kate Hox and illustrator Joe Hox bring forty word pictures of Jesus to life so children can get to know Jesus better.

The Bible is filled with stories and symbols that point us to Jesus as the Savior, the only One who can bring us back to God. In Who is Jesus?, Joe and Kate Hox combine illustrations and deep thoughts simply shared to guide family devotions and encourage rich conversations about who Jesus is, why he came to earth, and how we can get to know him now.

Families will explore together the rich imagery of the Bible and learn about God’s great love for his people through Jesus Christ his Son.

• Written with the 40 days of Lent leading up to Easter in mind but can be used any time throughout the year.
• Each picture of Jesus includes a captivating illustration, a key verse to remember, Bible passages to discuss, a family devotion to read, reflection questions, and a song.
• Twenty stories from the Old Testament and twenty from the New Testament tell about snakes, sticks, rocks, shepherds, sheep, water, bread, and so much more.

"Who Is Jesus  tells the story of the gospel from Genesis to Revelation with elegance and simplicity, keeping the focus always upon Christ. It also shows the story with illustrations that capture well the rich imagery and symbolism of the Bible’s story of redemption.” 
—Cornelis P. Venema, President, Mid-America Reformed Seminary 

“In my eighteen years as a theology professor, I learned how challenging it is to describe adequately the rich biblical testimony and the wonder of who Jesus Christ is and the wondrous significance of what he has accomplished for this precious world that God loves. That's why I'm astounded by the beauty and depth of Kate Hox's meditations for children, Who Is Jesus?  These meditations are age-appropriate and yet they stubbornly and poetically refuse to ‘dumb down’ the biblical witness to the majesty of Jesus. Her work celebrates the unity of Scripture and the primacy of Jesus; it reads to me like an extended reflection on one of the most powerful Jesus songs in the entire Bible: Colossians 1: 15–20, which boldly names the supremacy of Jesus over all. Thank you, Kate!  I wish I had this resource thirty years ago for our family devotions at the dinner table.”
