Jesus and the Very Big Surprise by Randall Goodgame and Catalina Echeverri

EQUIP20 Picks - books chosen and reviewed for you by our EQUIP team

No one knows the day or hour of Jesus’ return.  So how do we talk about it with our children in a way they’ll understand?  What should we do while we wait for his return? This children’s book explains the parable that Jesus tells of the master and his servants in Luke 12:35-38. It helps all of us understand how we can be ready for Jesus’ return.

This book has lovely illustrations that bring the story to life. Suitable for preschool and primary school aged children, it gives some really simple, practical ways that we all can serve like Jesus while we wait for his return.

In Jesus’ story, the master loves his servants so much that he puts on servants’ clothes, and he serves them instead!  What kind of master would love like that?  What kind of God would choose to be a servant?   SURPRISE!  Jesus would. No one knows the day or hour when Jesus will return.  And just like the servants in this story, we have plenty to do while we wait!  There are hungry people to serve, lonely people to care for, friends to share with, and enemies to forgive.  And it all begins with loving Jesus, the Great Master who serves.

The EQUIP20 Picks will be available for a limited time online via our ministry partner, Reformers Bookshop.
