Christopher & Christina Meet Jeremiah: The Prophet with a Brave and Tender Heart

When Christopher and Christina travel back in time, they meet Jeremiah in Jerusalem and discover how God called him when he was very young. Jeremiah was afraid and felt too small for the task ahead, but God promised to be with him. Through difficult days, lonely moments, and even a frightening time in a muddy pit, Jeremiah continued to trust God.

Through Jeremiah’s story, children learn that God is present even when life feels hard, that asking for help is okay, and that God can have a good plan for their future. The story gently introduces children to Jeremiah’s calling, his perseverance, and the beautiful message of hope found in Jeremiah 29:11.

With a tender story, faith based lessons, a simple prayer, discussion questions, and a drawing activity, this book encourages children to remember:

Even when life is hard, God’s plan for you is good.

A meaningful Christian children’s book for parents, grandparents, Sunday school teachers, and families who want to help children grow in faith, courage, trust, and hope.
