Three Bible stories about welcome and belonging

Using three encounters from the Gospels—the Samaritan woman at the well, Zacchaeus, and the repentant thief on the cross—the book explores how Jesus responds to people treated as outsiders. The stories connect exclusion and loneliness with the choice to welcome people who are different. Framed around Christian values, the book invites children to consider inclusion, diversity, and the universal love and acceptance it associates with Jesus. Its illustrated, read-aloud format presents these ideas through familiar biblical episodes, with a focus on how Jesus’s words and actions offer an example for treating others.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 encountering stories about Jesus and biblical values
  • Families looking for an illustrated Christian read-aloud
  • Children’s ministry leaders introducing belonging and inclusion through Bible stories

Book overview

Who is Jesus? Jared Neusch and Connor Shram, two authors who love Jesus, want kids to meet the real Messiah.

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 gave to each of his children, and reveal the radical, timeless example of Jesus' message.

Even young children, through God's help, are ready to know the real Jesus. That's why each book in this series features key biblical values, presented in a fun, funny, engaging, and lasting way. The story of Jesus Is for Kids! Each colorful, illustrated book in the Jesus Is for Kids series will help children:

  • Build their knowledge of who Jesus is
  • Bring them into a deeper relationship with him
  • And lead kids to a love of Scripture

An entertaining read-aloud for parents and children's ministry leaders to share with little ones, Jesus and the Outsiders is about how sometimes we feel left out and lonely. Sometimes we exclude others because we're afraid or unsure. How did Jesus treat the Outsiders?

  • Did he make a club only some people can join?
  • Or did he invite everyone to his table?

We find the answer in the words and actions of Jesus. This book tells three biblical stories of Jesus and an outsider who was looking for belonging: the Samaritan woman at the well, Zacchaeus, and the repentant thief on the cross. The humorous text and delightful illustrations lead children to discover that like Jesus, we can be inclusive of people different than us. We can appreciate the diversity of people God created in his image. And we can give others the universal love and acceptance that Jesus gave us.
