The Garden, the Curtain and the Cross by Carl Laferton

Illustrated by Catalina Echeverri

This beautifully told biblical story invites children to journey through the big storyline of The Bible, from the perfect Garden of Eden, where friendship with God began, to the moment sin separated humanity from Him. The book explains the meaning behind the temple curtain that kept people from God’s presence, and the incredible moment when Jesus Christ died and the curtain tore in two, opening the way for all to know God again.

 With rich illustrations and gentle storytelling, this book helps children understand God’s love, the problem of sin, and the hope and restoration found in Jesus, the ultimate invitation back into God’s presence, not just for a select few, but for everyone He calls His own.
