The Good Samaritan (My Very First Board Book) - Hardcover

This is the much loved parable of the man who went from Jerusalem to Jericho and was beaten up by robbers. Two people who come along the road pass him by; the good Samaritan shows what it means to love your neighbour. The story fills six double-page spreads. There are also two double page spreads of special words from the story and a related prayer. There are eight titles in the My Very First Bible Stories Board book set. This title publishes simultaneously with Jesus and his Friends, Daniel and the Lions and Jonah and the Whale, which join the already published Noah and the Ark, Baby Jesus, Our Father and The Lost Sheep.
