This week hosts Mike Nawrocki and Sarah Humphrey talk with authors Conner Shram and Jared Neusch about their new book: Jesus vs the Bad Guys.

Who is Jesus? Authors and lifelong friends Connor Shram and Jared Neusch want kids to meet the real Jesus.

Jesus is the core to understanding our faith in a deep and personal way. Introducing kids to Jesus at a young age can help them build a lifelong, unshakeable trust in him. The authors goal is to provide stories about Jesus that are fun and exciting, reflect the playful imagination God has given to each of his children, and reveal the radical, timeless example of Jesus message.

Even young children, through Gods help, are ready to know the real Jesus. Thats why each book in this series features key biblical values, presented in a fun, funny, engaging, and lasting way. Eachbook in the Jesus Is for Kids series will help children:

build their knowledge of who Jesus is;

enter a deeper relationship with Him; and

develop a love of Scripture.
