Goodbye to Goodbyes by Lauren Chandler

Illustrated by Catalina Echeverri

Goodbye to Goodbyes retells the powerful Bible story of Jesus and Lazarus, showing children that Jesus came to end all our goodbyes. When Lazarus dies, his sisters Mary and Martha are heartbroken. Jesus arrives, weeps with them, and then does the impossible — He brings Lazarus back to life.

Through gentle storytelling and warm, expressive illustrations, this book helps children understand that Jesus cares deeply about our sadness and has the power to make everything new. It’s a comforting, hope-filled reminder that because of Jesus, one day there will be no more sickness, tears, or goodbyes.
