It starts with Zachariah and the angel, then to the angel Gabriel coming to Mary, then John's birth, then Jesus' birth, the shepherds and angels, the wise men, and His dedication. It continues with Him at age 12 in the Temple, then being tempted in the wilderness, then to Nazareth to read from Isaiah, It finishes with Him calling His disciples. The beautiful line drawing artwork is great for coloring. The story is lifted from Scripture. The facts are from Scripture, and there are even several direct quotes from Scripture. About the Author The artwork is by the author. God gave Pauline Shone a very special gift. It was the gift of creativity. And at seven years old, she made her first illustration, Prince Charming dancing with Cinderella! And at sixteen years of age she began a five years Art College Degree Course. This led to a career in teaching, and then as a designer and sculptor for the ceramic industry. She became quite well known in the past for her exquisite porcelain figurines. But after coming to a personal faith in Jesus as her Saviour, she used her God-given gift for Him. Over many years she created a series of illustrated Bible Stories for children. And this book, Jesus the Messiah, is the story of the One she loves. May anyone who reads it also know and love Him.
