The Lamb

The Lamb is an AWESOME book written for the child's understanding of salvation. It starts with the creation of Angels and Lucifer, and how Lucifer and 1/3 of heaven rebelled against God.

Children are then introduced into the Creation of the World and Man, and Man's sin against God. After Adam and Eve Sinned, God promised a coming redeemer that would save them.

God then took an innocent animal and killed it instead of Adam and Eve. Signifying that blood must be shed to pay for sins.

The Lamb is introduced to show that it is a symbol of the coming Saviour. The lamb was innocent. Not guilty of sin. He had to be spotless, and he had to be male. The sinner then placed his hand on the animal as he killed it signifying his sin was placed upon the animal, and the animal is being punished for the man's sin.

Jesus Christ is then introduced as the Lamb that took our sin upon himself, and died on the cross and has paid for all of our sins. He is *our* Lamb that takes away the sin of the world that was promised to Adam and Eve in the beginning when they first sinned.

The book is divided into chapters, with questions at the end of each chapter, to make sure your child understands what you have read to them.

It doesn't gloss over important issues, such as sin, the effects of sin, God's righteousness, Holiness, Love, Mercy, Grace, and Justice. But each chapter always ends on a hopeful tone.

I have read some of it to my girls, and Sweetie has become more aware of what sin is. Also the Justice of God. She thought that God should of killed Lucifer. However, I will be praying that she understands this on her own, and I am not going to be pushing her into a decision. But, it has been helping her become more aware of what salvation really is.

It also comes with a C.D. of the whole book complete with songs sung at the end of each chapter. The book is high quality hard cover with a dust jacket, and the illustrations are superb. $16.80 is the cost plus shipping and handling. However, I think it well worth over $30, because the quality is just that good.
