    About this ebook

    Did you know that what God has always wanted is for you to become one of His friends?

    More than a children’s book, The Big Picture of What God Has Always Wanted is for parents who care deeply about passing on a legacy of faith in Christ to the next generation – parents who invite children to “ask Jesus into your heart.” But what does that phrase really mean? And is it biblical?

    Author Charles F. Boyd has found that when asked, many children don't understand that this phrase is symbolic. Seeing this disconnect between a grown-up's metaphor and a child's understanding, he writes here to help children understand the simple Gospel message: God desires to live in friendship with the people He created, now and forever. Boyd also shares the big-picture story of the Bible, fromGenesis through Revelation.
