This is one of those books that has a message for all ages. It paints a beautiful picture of Jesus as our Savior, who came to seek and to save, while capturing and keeping attentions through the colorful artwork and unique storyline.

The final page has a summary of all the above-mentioned “modern elements” and how they represent a part of who Jesus is. For example, the Lion represents Him as a powerful Creator King. The boat represents His rescuing us, and more!
