The Greatest Deal

From the author of The Greatest Rescue comes a new book, The Greatest Deal, the second in a projected series of children’s books that explains salvation and the Christian faith to young ones. The Greatest Deal illustrates for children, in a contemporary setting, the gracious words God has given us in Isaiah 1:18: “‘Come now, let us reason together,’ says the Lord, ‘though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be white as snow’” (NKJV).

In a special and imaginary place called Truthtown, a young boy named Benj discovers two vital truths of the Christian faith. First, our sins, small or great, separate us from our holy and just Creator; and second, in His love for His creation, God has made a way to bridge that separation and bring us to Him—if we will only come to Him and believe in what Jesus accomplished on the cross of Calvary over two thousand years ago.

The events in the life of Benj and his family that bring him to realize his need of a Savior are fantastical yet, in other ways, common to all of us, especially in childhood. Any child will have no difficulty in relating to Benj’s story and his journey to the Savior and faith.

As in The Greatest Rescue, the goal of helping the children in our lives comprehend the goodness and love of our Lord and Savior and the salvation He has provided to all, is presented in a kid-friendly way in The Greatest Deal.
