What Jesus Did Availability: Our Price: £1.90 An excellent and much needed resource for young people with moderate learning difficulties. It gives a simple and clear presentation of who Jesus is and what he did. The artwork is deliberately basic but not childish, and the print is large to meet the needs of this group. The books are also suitable for use with adults or teenagers with learning difficulties within the church context. RRP: £2.00 Our Price: £1.90 Multiple Copies 10+ 20+ £1.80 £1.70 Multiple copy prices may change regularly Stock Availability: Author/Artist Abrahall Denise Et Al ISBN/Ref 9781844270057 Publisher Scripture Union Published 2003-09-05 Product ID 12783 Customer Reviews This is an outstanding resource! Although What Jesus did has been written specifically for 11 to 14 year olds with moderate learning difficulties, its crystal clear retelling of the story of Jesus makes it eminently suitable for children and adults of all ages and abilities. (I have successfully used Denise Abrahall's text and Colin Smithson's illustrations during all-age worship and received very positive feedback afterwards.) The book is written using delightfully simple language. The chosen print size and font make reading easy, and the written word is complimented by a range of visual cues including signs, symbols and illustrations. For maximum accessibility, speech bubbles have been used instead of speech marks. For maximum authenticity, Bible references are included in each section of the book. This book follows a well-worked Q&A format, which asks and answers questions such as: Have you heard about Jesus? What did Jesus do when he grew up? How did Jesus help people? Where is Jesus now? Towards the end of the book (p.22) we find the answer to the question: Can anyone be a friend of Jesus now? (I defy any Christian not to smile and go a little misty eyed when they read the answer and see the superb accompanying illustration.) On the final page readers are encouraged to find out more about Jesus. The pack contains five books and is supported by an equally concise set of notes which gives helpful tips on how teachers and visitors can make the best use of the book in an assembly. In short, What Jesus did is an outstanding resource, which can be used in church and home settings as well as RE lessons in school where young people are learning about Christianity.
