S4Ep40: The Boy from the House of Bread
This week Mike and Sarah spend time talking with author Andrew Wilson about his new book, The Boy from the House of Bread.
With lyrical rhyme and quirky illustrations, The Boy from the House of Bread shares the story of Jesus’ ministry in a compelling way, through the eyes and voice of an African boy. Walk with Alex through his bustling first-century world as he watches Jesus multiply bread and hears Him tell stories about loaves and call Himself the life-giving Bread. This recurring symbol fascinates both Alex and the reader, leaving children ages 4 to 8 (and the adults who read with them) thinking differently about not only the bread on their plates but the Man who makes miracles happen.
Andrew Wilson is the teaching pastor at King’s Church London and the author of Sophie and the Heidelberg Cat. He has three children named Zeke, Anna, and Sam, and he has written a number of other books—but none of them have pictures.
