Deepak does a great job of helping children understand the history of the kings of old - in both their triumphs and failures. But more than that, he directs their attention toward Jesus, the great and promised king who walked in perfect wisdom, humility and righteousness in a way no earthly king ever could. This book will serve as a helpful resource in the quest to show children how the Old Testament continually points to Jesus. Anne Lincoln Holibaugh ~ Children's Minister, The Village Church Deepak carefully and accurately tells the story of three great Old Testament kings. Fred Apps' illustrations are beautiful as always and complement the comparisons. By the end of the book, you almost want to sing out "Jesus is different. Jesus is better. Jesus is the true King.
" Jared Kennedy ~ Family Pastor, Sojourn Community Church in Louisville, Kentucky In exposing the sin in the lives of Saul, David, and Solomon, Deepak Reju shows convincingly that Christ is our true hero and the greatest of all kings. While many cute Bible story books help build familiarity with the Bible in our kids' lives, we as parents need books like The Greatest King to help our kids see the evil of sin and stir their need for a Savior. It is then when Jesus truly becomes the Greatest King for each of them. Marty Machowski, Pastor, Author of The Gospel Story Bible and the Gospel Story Curriculum.
