"O Cordeiro" is the Portuguese edition of "The Lamb."
The following is the description from the English edition.
How do we explain the gospel to children in a way that they can understand? How do we explain their need for a Saviour without watering down the details? How can we hold their attention long enough to explain what the Bible is all about? How can we be accurate yet sensitive to the fact that they need simpler explanations?
“The Lamb” is a book written for children five to ten years of age. Engaging children with its full-colour illustrations, this picture book takes children on a journey through the heart of the Bible’s message. Starting with the creation of the universe, the book explains key biblical concepts: Who is God? What is God like? What is sin? Where did evil come from? Why do we need a Saviour? The book concludes with a clear explanation of the identity of Jesus and his amazing provision as our Saviour.
The book makes a clear link between Jesus and the Old Testament sacrificial lamb. Issues like death are dealt with in an honest, straightforward manner. The graphic details surrounding the story of salvation are handled sensitively but not watered down. At the end, children will have an explanation of who God is and what he did for mankind on the cross. It is a message of hope that every child should hear.

We are missionaries in Northeast Brazil. In this area, many of the adults and children do not know how to read. We were at a loss of a visual way to help them see and understand the Gospel, until we remembered the resource we had used with both our older children. Both our older children accepted the Lord through the understanding of God’s gift of salvation through The Lamb. We have been using it successfully with many families here in town, with evangelistic Kid’s clubs, and have passed it on to other missionary friends who are also using it. The CD makes it possible for us to give the book to a family that doesn’t know how to read and they can listen and turn the pages. We do this after we have gone through the lessons with the family, then give it to them as a gift. Over and over people have exclaimed at the beauty of the illustrations. Thank you for making it available and not too expensive for us to use.
