Based on Acts 16, The Prisoners, the Earthquake and the Midnight Song is a fun ...and compelling retelling of how a Philippian jailer and his family learned the wonderful truth about Jesus Christ. It will teach children about Jesus’ ongoing power to save through the proclamation of the gospel and through the presence of the Holy Spirit.

While I understand based from the previous feedback response from the editor, the writer attempts to remain true to the gospel, but their are different ways to say the same message. I wish the writer would have said “the soldier worried he would get in trouble “.

This book is the story of Paul, Silas and the Phillipian jailer from Acts 16:16-40. Paul and Silas were wrongfully arrested, beaten and thrown into prison, but instead of being angry, they sang and praised the Lord.
God sent an earthquake to free them! The jailer knew he would be held responsible for any escaped prisoners and was about to kill himself, but Paul stopped him and the jailer asked Paul what he must do to be saved. The jailer and his family heard the gospel and decided to follow Jesus. This is such a powerful story and this book ...tells it well with engaging text and illustrations!
We love the Tales that Tell the Truth series and this is another great one in that series! I’ve read in other reviews that people were concerned about the mention of the jailer being about to kill himself, but this is true to how the story is told in the Bible. As Christians we know that all of Gods word is good and we can trust him to help us explain even the hard parts to our children!

We own almost all of the tales that tell the truth books and our 4 year old loves them. I was surprised at the language of suicide in this one and thought it was unnecessary. I agree, the jailers fear for his life is important but it could have been conveyed just as truthfully without the line “so he takes his sword to take his own life”. In most shops this is marketed to 3-6 year olds which I think is far too young for that kind of content.
