For parents, churches, homeschool co-ops, and church schools, Telling God’s Story provides an open-and-go curriculum for elementary religious instruction. Carefully researched, designed for maximum ease and minimum preparation time, these books are meant to help parents and teachers guide their children into a wider faith. The gorgeously illustrated graphic novel, The Parables of Jesus, brings ancient scriptures into modern life for your students.

The third in a series designed to take students from elementary through high school, Telling God’s Story, Year Three shows children the surprising way of life that Jesus brought, as seen in his parables, miracles, and teaching. The Instructor Text and Teaching Guide provides content-filled background information for the teacher, and a scripted explanation of the passage designed especially for children to grasp with ease.



The accompanying Activity Book provides historically accurate coloring pages, learning projects, and group activities to fill out an entire week of home, school, or Sunday School study.

The graphic novel, The Parables of Jesus, brings Jesus' parables to life for students. A hurricane howls towards a house built on sand. A nighttime intruder creeps onto enemy land. A boy leaves home to seek adventure. Robbers menace a lonely traveler. And the unexpected happens.



This new and innovative graphic-novel translation of the parables of Jesus puts a modern twist on an ancient art form: stories that begin with mundane events and end with a glimpse of a deeper reality. Earnest Graham’s illustrations, ranging in style from West African kente and Japanese prints to vivid modern realism, interpret these well-loved stories for the next generation of readers.

All three texts are combined in this bundle to provide a full year of religious instruction.
