I Am: Stories from the Gospel of John

by Laura Cerbus

In I Am: Stories from the Gospel of John, Laura Cerbus invites primary readers (ages 8-12) to step into the story of Jesus through the eyes of John, the beloved disciple. With vivid storytelling and biblical faithfulness, this book brings to life the eight “I Am” sayings of Jesus found in the Gospel of John-revealing who He is and what that means for us today. From “I am the Bread of Life” to “I am the Resurrection and the Life” each chapter draws young readers deeper into the wonder of Christ’s identity and mission.
