MIRACLE MAN / GO AND DO LIKEWISE

MIRACLE MAN/ GO AND DO LIKEWISE by John Hendrix

If you have not seen John Hendrix's Miracle Man and Go and Do Likewise books, they are worth checking out. Written in a combination style of comic book and traditional book style, they are very engaging for kids. The pictures are full of activity, life, words made into part of the pictures, etc. Miracle Man covers the miracles including the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. Go and Do Likewise focuses on Jesus' parables. Very well done!

Heads Up- My only heads up is in Miracle Man Hendrix portrays the child in the Feeding of the 5000 as a girl. I looked up the gospel accounts of this amazing miracle. Matthew, Mark, and Luke only state that we have 5 loaves and 2 fish. The book of John reports the disciples telling Jesus, " There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?" (John 6:8-9 NKJV)

Alongside Activity- Not always, but often, Hendrix portrays a lot of life around Jesus with flowers, birds, butterflies, etc. Notice the life around Him in the pictures. Notice the lack of colors on the crucifixion pages. Notice the return of color in the resurrection!
