Lamba’s Journey with Jesus

Little Lamb, Big Journey: New Children’s Book Brings the Gospel to Life through the Eyes of a Curious Lamb

FAITH NEWS SERVICE – United States—Wednesday, December 11, 2024

Just in time for the Christmas season, award-winning author Del Bates introduces “Lamba’s Journey with Jesus”, a heartwarming children’s book that weaves the story of Christ’s birth, ministry, and resurrection through the eyes of an adventurous lamb named Lamba. This captivating tale invites children ages four to eight on a rhyming journey of discovery, faith, and obedience.

An Unforgettable Journey
Lamba, a curious little lamb, dreams of exploring the world beyond his shepherd’s care. One starry night, he strays too far and stumbles upon a miraculous event: the birth of a very special baby, Jesus, whose arrival is celebrated by the angels. This sets the stage for a series of awe-inspiring encounters as Lamba grows up and crosses paths with Jesus during pivotal moments of his ministry, witnessing love, sacrifice, and redemption.

A Three-Part Story of Love and Hope
Told with delightful rhymes and gentle prose, “Lamba’s Journey with Jesus” takes readers through:

  • The wonder of Christ’s birth in Bethlehem.
  • Jesus’ ministry in Jerusalem, where he reassures Lamba of his return.
  • The joy of the empty tomb, where angels proclaim, “He is risen!”

Children will be enchanted by Lamba’s journey while parents and caregivers will appreciate the timeless message of God’s love, forgiveness, and the importance of obedience.

Perfect for Young Readers and Families
Beautifully written and designed to engage young hearts, “Lamba’s Journey with Jesus” is an ideal addition to family storytime, Sunday school lessons, and holiday gift lists. With its vivid storytelling and relatable character, this book makes the gospel story accessible and memorable for children, sparking meaningful conversations about faith and the true meaning of Christmas.

5 Stars Three Engaging Books
My kids ages 6 and 8 loved this sweet book. The story through the eyes of Lamba is perfect for little ones. My intent was to read one story at a time but the kiddos wanted to read the entire book at once; they didn’t want to stop reading it, It’s definitely one of our favorites.

Lamba’s Journey with Jesus

New Release Picture Book Shares the Story of Jesus through the Eyes of a Wandering Lamb

FAITH NEWS SERVICEPicture books are not just child’s play. Parents and others who are concerned about teaching their children about Jesus and Christian values agree. “Picture books with Christian themes help introduce kids to Christ and his life,” says New Growth Press.

A new release that helps introduce kids to the life of Jesus is Lamba’s Journey with Jesus (Redemption Press) by Del Bates. Animals often play a large role in picture books, and this book follows that format with a little lamb who loves to rove as the main character. While most picture books about Jesus depict one part of his life and ministry, Lamba’s Journey with Jesus shares the birth, ministry, and the death and resurrection of Christ as seen through the eyes of a wandering lamb.

Del Bates is an award-winning author, speaker, and weekly podcaster. Her three-part continuing story written for ages four through eight shares God’s love as well as reinforces obedience in young hearts. The rhyming language and story about a lamb with wanderlust who is lacking in obedience and his journey with Jesus will delight both children and their parents.
