This Board Book Teaches Children About the Return of Their Savior 

Everyone is a theologian—even our little ones. Each board book in the For the Bible Tells Me So series offers kids ages 0–4 an introduction to key facets of the gospel and a glimpse at the joy found when children embrace Christ as their Lord and Savior. In God Returns for Me, author Kristen Wetherell explores Christ’s second coming, revealing the promise that he will return to rid us of sin and restore our broken world. 

This board book uses repetition, easy-to-understand language, and interactive elements to keep kids engaged and coming back again and again. Deeply rooted in Scripture and written in warm and curious tones, Wetherell’s words offer hope to little ones as they eagerly await the day they will see the Lord face to face.
