I’ve had the book No Problem! for years, although it is currently out of print. The book tells the Bible story (Mark 2) about the man who couldn’t walk but wanted to see Jesus. His four friends said, “No problem!” It was no problem that he couldn’t walk on his own to see Jesus. It was no problem that the house was too crowded. It was no problem for his friends to carry the man up to the roof of the house. It was no problem for them to lower the man down through a hole in the roof. It was no problem for Jesus to heal the man and tell him to get up and walk.
This book is excellent for young readers. It is a simple account of a true Biblical story with colorful illustrations to aid in understanding Jesus’ miracle.
Because this book was published years ago and is currently out of print, it made me think: How many more Bible stories are written in children’s storybook form? How many of those stories are current and up-to-date for today’s children?
That idea sparks my creative mind. I began working on a children’s storybook about Noah and the flood, based on our recent small group study. From there, I began thinking about a children’s storybook on Jesus feeding the 5,000. What do you think?
I also have an illustrated children’s book coming soon to help young children transition from preschool classes at church to children’s worship. Watch this blog for more information on the release of this book.
