Summary
Inviting Children to See Jesus from Creation to the Manger
In the beginning God created the whole world。 After six days of work， he had created the stars in the sky， the mighty oceans， tall trees， beautiful flowers， mighty sea creatures， and the most prized of all creation--Adam and Eve。 Created in God's image， Adam and Eve were friends with him。 But one day "the worst of all days came"--the serpent deceived them and they sinned against God。 Adam and Eve's relationship with God was broken。
But God gave mankind a promise。
And what a great promise it was！
The promise of salvation！ He promised that one would come who would crush the head of the lying serpent， one who would deliver mankind from their sin， one who would restore man and woman's relationship with God。
But who has the power to do that？ Does Abraham， a great man of faith？ Does Moses， a great prophet？ What about Joshua， the great conqueror？
Journey through the pages of the Bible in search of the promised Savior， from the garden of Eden to a manger in Bethlehem。

Everyone loves a good story。 For centuries people have gathered to tell stories。 Some stories are simply fun。 Others are life-changing。 The Promise: The Amazing Story of Our Long-Awaited Savior by Jason Helopoulos is a story of the latter variety。 Indeed， it is a story about God’s plan for the nations。 It’s not just any story - it is his story。This short children’s book is a creative way to teach biblical theology to young minds。 Pastor Helopoulos begins in Genesis 1:1 with the creation narrativ Everyone loves a good story。 For centuries people have gathered to tell stories。 Some stories are simply fun。 Others are life-changing。 The Promise: The Amazing Story of Our Long-Awaited Savior by Jason Helopoulos is a story of the latter variety。 Indeed， it is a story about God’s plan for the nations。 It’s not just any story - it is his story。This short children’s book is a creative way to teach biblical theology to young minds。 Pastor Helopoulos begins in Genesis 1:1 with the creation narrative。 He walks readers through the six days of creation and proceeds to show how sin entered the world and ruined everything。 The remainder of the book focuses on various ways that people tried to find peace with God。In the end， the reader is confronted with the reality of the gospel as the Lord Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners， the one who was promised in Genesis 3:15: The author writes:In this child， the promise came。 He was the one who would crush the head of the serpent， deliver mankind from their sins， grant them his righteousness， work in them his holiness， give them his life。The Promise not only accurately unfolds the precious promise of the Redeemer; it is beautifully bound and includes stunning illustrations on each page by Rommel Ruiz。 The blend of art and theology geared to children of all ages makes this book an important part of family discipleship。 It is a book that can and should be read multiple times and discussed with children。 Such a book can be passed from one generation to the next and introduce children to God’s redemptive plan for the nations。Highly recommended！ 。。。more

For beautiful and striking illustrations， and an excellent way to take children through salvation history throughout the Old Testament， this book gets four stars。 The story is also told through a suspenseful way that my 5-year-old， even though he actually knows the answer to the question of "who can save us，" still kept asking as we kept reading， "so who is it？"However there are two important missing pieces。 First， never once in the book does the author state that Jesus Christ is the Son of God。 For beautiful and striking illustrations， and an excellent way to take children through salvation history throughout the Old Testament， this book gets four stars。 The story is also told through a suspenseful way that my 5-year-old， even though he actually knows the answer to the question of "who can save us，" still kept asking as we kept reading， "so who is it？"However there are two important missing pieces。 First， never once in the book does the author state that Jesus Christ is the Son of God。 I had to insert this myself while reading it out loud to my child。 This would not have been a difficult praise to add， in the end where all His other attributes are mentioned。 Secondly， as expected， in this book salvation is through penal substitutionary atonement， a decidedly Protestant theology about salvation。 Orthodox Christians do not speak of salvation in this way。 Protestant and maybe Catholic readers will enjoy this book， Orthodox Christian readers not so much。 。。。more
