There’s something incredibly special about sitting down with a book that brings peace, comfort, and warmth not just to children but to the entire family. Jesus, Our True Friend by Sally Lloyd-Jones, beautifully illustrated by Jago, does exactly that.
From the very first page, you can feel the tenderness in the storytelling. The book captures seven moments from Jesus’ life, written in a way that even young readers can understand but filled with enough depth to touch the hearts of adults too.
Each story reminds us that Jesus’ love is not distant; it’s personal, real, and constant. From the story of the Good Samaritan to the miracles of Jesus, every illustration bursts with color and life, drawing children into the narrative. I especially loved how Jesus, Our True Friend portrays compassion in action like when the Samaritan tended to the wounded man. It’s a powerful reminder of what it means to love selflessly.
As a family, we enjoyed reading this book together. The illustrations sparked questions and conversations that opened doors for us to talk about kindness, faith, and forgiveness. If you’ve read The Jesus Storybook Bible, you’ll feel that same comforting rhythm and heartfelt message flowing through this collection it’s like being reunited with an old friend.
With its sturdy cover, rich artwork, and lyrical words, this book is not only perfect for bedtime reading but also makes a beautiful gift for baptisms, Christmas, or any moment when someone needs to be reminded of God’s unending love.
If you’re looking for a way to fill your home with hope and joy, I highly recommend adding Jesus, Our True Friend to your family’s bookshelf.
