Synopsis

Entertaining and moving kids'-eye view of Jesus - aimed at 8-12s, though some adults have sneakily enjoyed it too!

Tammie's life in a quiet fishing town would never be the same. Her future wasn't looking good - understatement! - but things quickly went from bad to WICKED with the arrival of a strange grown-up with nice eyes.
And as for the business with Daniel's lunch, or Dibs's roof...

JAIRUS'S GIRL is the Galilee side of The Young Testament, a fun, accessible series of full-length books about Jesus, from the viewpoint of the children and young people. They can be read out of order, or even on their own, but together they overlap to form one big storyworld of life at the time of Jesus.

Check out prequel JOSEPH'S BOY, a kids'-eye take on the first Christmas, and latest book THAT WOMAN'S GIRL - the outsiders' view of Jesus!
