The Death and the Victory: Volume 4 - Paperback

by Marty Machowski (Author), Blair Files (Illustrator)

The Death and the Victory is an imaginative adventure that invites children to experience the story of Jesus's death, resurrection, and triumph through the perspective of animal characters.

In this creative retelling by bestselling author Marty Machowski, young readers follow animal characters woven into the sweeping events of the New Testament, from the cross and the empty tomb to the ascension, Pentecost, Saul's conversion, and John's visions on Patmos. These vivid stories bring fresh energy to familiar passages while helping children engage the wonder, sorrow, and hope of God's redemptive plan.

The final book in the Redemption Tales series for ages 8-12, The Death and the Victory pairs adventure-filled storytelling with biblical truth to help kids see how the story of Jesus leads to ultimate victory. Bible study questions at the end help readers explore the "truth behind the tales," making it a strong pick for independent reading, family discussion, or classroom use.
