The Man in the Tree and the Brand New Start

A True Story about Zacchaeus and the Difference Meeting Jesus

Carl Laferton

Quantity

Zacchaeus was very short, very rich, and not very happy, but his encounter with Jesus changed everything. 

In response to the grace Jesus showed him, Zacchaeus was transformed from the inside out. He repented, treasured Jesus above everything else, and showed kindness and generosity to others like never before.

Use this story to teach children that only following Jesus will make them truly happy and fulfilled, and that genuine repentance and faith is demonstrated by loving others.

We Love This Series!

I received The Man in the Tree And The Brand New Start compliments of The Good Book Company in exchange for my honest review. The Man in the Tree And The Brand New Start is the latest book in the Tales That Tell the Truth series by The Good Book Company. This story is an adaptation of the account of Jesus’ encounter with Zacchaeus in Luke 19:1-10. This book is authored by Carl Laferton who authored the first book in the series, The Garden, The Curtain, and The Cross. An aspect of this book that I appreciate is its inclusion of the gospel message in a way that is easy for little ones to understand. The Man in the Tree And The Brand New Start teaches children that Jesus can save anyone who comes to Him in faith and repentance and that salvation isn’t only for the spiritual elite. The illustrations for this book are by the talented Catalina Echeverri and are sure to capture children’s attention. She’s done the illustrations for the other books in the series too but the ones for this book include a variety of textures making them very captivating. This book has been a lovely addition to our collection of Tales That Tell the Truth books. I’m grateful for Carl Laferton’s ministry in making the Bible approachable for young readers and I anticipate reading more by him in the future.
