‘God Became Like Me’ Christmas book from SU, review by Becky Lawrence

‘God Became Like Me’ book by Scripture Union, review by Becky Lawrence, Youth and Kids worker at St Mark’s MK

God Became Like Me? is a poetic retelling of why Jesus came, how much he loves us and how he is always there for us.  It features stunning illustrations plus black and white pages for children to colour in while reflecting on the words.  Published by Scripture Union, it is suitable for 5-11 year olds.

Christmas is a great opportunity to share how much God loves us – that he sent his son to earth, that God became like us and dwelled among us.  This book tells the story of Jesus in an easy to understand way but not missing any of the hope and love that threads throughout the important message.

You could use these as a way to read and tell the christmas story in your kids church, kids group or family service by reading it aloud together.  You could also use these as freebies to send home with children/families at any activities or events near christmas so that the Christmas story of Jesus can be read and understood at home. 

Available in packs of ten, these beautiful little books are ideal for sharing the good news of Jesus with children in lots of contexts – perhaps those in your community, in your local school, at your church and/or those attending your Christmas events.

Also available in welsh – shoutout all our welsh youth & kids leaders!

Currently on offer for only £8 for 10 copies (instead of £10) – get ’em now while they are on offer – in plenty of time for your christmas events.

Hope you find these really useful as a way of putting the real christmas story into the hands of children and families this Christmas and letting them know how much they are loved.
