Malachi and Friends Spending Time with Jesus is the perfect children's book for parents to read to their children ages 4-6. I believe that children ages 2-3 will enjoy the pictures. In this book, Malachi tells the stories of different ways his friends read their Bible, and while spending time with Jesus. Malachi is a curious five years old little boy who loves the Lord Jesus with all his heart. He encourages all children to read their Bible, or if they cannot read, Malachi shows them other ways children can learn about Jesus. In this book, children will learn that Jesus died on the cross, and He arose. Malachi is not ashamed to talk about Jesus; he even shares his favorite ways to learn about Jesus. He tells the children that going to church is one of the best ways to learn about Jesus. So, grab some snacks as you listen to Malachi shares with you and your children many ways to spend time with Jesus. He also encouraged and pray for some of his friends who do not want to read their Bible. I promise you that you will fall in love with all the characters in this book. It is my prayer that this book is a blessing to all who read and hear this God-inspired book for the children.
