**Publisher's Description:**
Follow God’s story of love, hope, and rescue from Genesis to the Gospels in this captivating graphic novel—through stories told by Jesus himself.
The long walk home after celebrating Passover in Jerusalem should be a joyful journey, but this year the travellers are sad and afraid. Then a mysterious stranger shows up and starts telling stories—from many years ago all the way up to the recent death of Yeshua (Jesus) on the cross—and the friends can’t wait to hear more.
This intriguing, funny, and heartfelt journey explores Scripture from Creation to the Resurrection through the eyes of curious children (and grown-ups!) walking with Yeshua on the Road to Emmaus.
Endorsements:
“Imagine a book of Bible stories that children read so often the cover gets worn. You can tell their favourite pages because they’re dog-eared and maybe even a bit torn. *God With Us* is that book: a beautiful, compelling, intimate retelling of the Bible’s most beloved stories, one that children will read over and over again.” —Shawn Smucker, author of *The Day the Angels Fell*
*God With Us* is so beautiful, so fun, so helpful! Matt has brought the biblical story to life. I can’t wait to give a copy to each of my ten grandchildren.” —Judy Douglass, author, speaker, and global director for Cru Women’s Resources
“The road from Emmaus to Jerusalem is estimated to be about seven miles. The Bible story of the Road to Emmaus is two thousand years old. In *God With Us*, writer Matt Mikalatos and artist Dave Shephard take us back to that journey, bridging both time and distance to breathe fresh insights into familiar stories. Highly recommended!” —Joe Field, Flying Colors Comics, Concord, California

Summary:
With a poetic, storytelling approach and vibrant, child-friendly illustrations, this Bible storybook explores the mystery of God’s presence in our lives. In this engaging picture book, children will discover…
- God is with us and speaks to us in surprising ways - God’s presence shows up in all of life’s circumstances, from the mundane to the miraculous - God is always forming us into His people, both in the times we delight in and the times we long to be over
The book opens with the story of creation and then a few key stories in the Old Testament before transitioning into the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, followed by the Holy Spirit’s coming and the promise of Jesus’ return.
Each story is tied to the theme of God’s presence, His desire to be with His people, and His longing for us to be with Him. The book aims to recapture the awe and beauty of the Bible and help kids connect to the God who is with them in every story.
