Here is a major new collection of the best-loved stories and parables from the New Testament, retold by an award-winning English writer widely known on both sides of the Atlantic.Geraldine McCaughrean's thought-provoking and inspiring retellings bring to life all the drama and excitement of Jesus' time on Earth -- from his birth in a lowly stable in Bethlehem, through the miracles he performed, to his death on the cross and the Resurrection.As with "God's People," Geraldine McCaughrean's companion volume of stories from the Old Testament, "God's Kingdom" is beautifully illustrated with Anna C. Leplar's watercolor paintings. This is a book to be treasured.
