Using simple sentences and stunning illustrations, this 16-page board book retells the story of Paul and the Philippian jailer.
From the sounds of Paul and Silas singing at midnight to the scary rumbling of an earthquake, young children are encouraged to imagine each sound as they follow the story. Finally, with the sound of singing, they rejoice with the jailer and his family as they all become followers of Jesus Christ.

I have never seen this story told in a children's book. I love how it tells about the early church. The book calls little readers' attention to the sounds of that night from the rumble of the earthquake, the singing of the prisoners, the crying of the fearful prison guard and again the rejoining of his family after they learn about Jesus. The board book introduces a dramatic story with enough details to intrigue readers, but not enough scare them. The story gives me plenty of leeway as a parent to add in details and explanation as kids become familiar ...with the story and start asking questions about why the characters are singing, crying, and rejoicing. What a refreshing and well-made board book!
