The Book
The Biggest Story: How the Snake Crusher Brings us Back to the Garden
An incredibly stunning and thoroughly delightful read about how the Snake Crusher (Jesus) is the best and biggest story to ever be told. This brightly colorful book is filled with the most gorgeous pictures that are delightful to both reader and listener.
This entire book captures the truth behind the fact that humans are a sinful people yet are absolutely loved and offered the best gift – Christ Jesus. The Bible is full of stories that are often glossed over to get the ultimate point across that humans sinned, got kicked out of the garden, God made promises, kept those promises, offered His only son to die, humans can now get to heaven. Same story but filled with incredibe imagery.
From the front cover to the back cover this book is stuffed full of a wonderful re-telling of the greatest story.
All in all, this is now one of my new favorite books that I have on my shelf to share with my children. I loved the way the author spun the story, a story that I have known my entire life. The ups and downs of the words, the cascading flow made this a magnificent read aloud book.
I deem this a do not miss book, one that you should own, and even give away as a gift….we loved it!
