Everybody gets it wrong. That is where Paul starts. It is not where he finishes.Romans is the clearest explanation of the whole thing anybody has ever written, and underneath all of it is one simple idea a small child can hold on to: wages are what you earn, and a present is not, and what God is offering is a present.Told for ages 3 to 8 through one family, one house and one garden across a whole year, from a spilled jug in the spring to a full table in the autumn.- A knocked over jug, and a grown-up who crouched down instead of standing over- Two hands full of pebbles, offered as payment, and gently given back- Somebody walking out into the rain to meet you before you had said sorry- A present held out, and two completely empty hands coming up to take it- A wall scrubbed clean, with not one mark left on it anywhere- A patchwork quilt with the dull grey squares sewn in on purpose- The bigger half of the loaf, handed over and meant- Handled gently all the way through, with nothing frightening on any page- Romans 6:23 in the King James Version, to learn together- Three questions, words to know, a short prayer, and a Read It Yourself page for ages 8 to 12Written for ages 3 to 8, with a Read It Yourself page for ages 8 to 12.
