The Prisoners, the Earthquake and and the Midnight Song by Bob Hartman

Illustrated by Catalina Echeverri

The Prisoners, the Earthquake and the Midnight Song retells the incredible true story from Acts 16, where Paul and Silas are thrown into prison for sharing the good news of Jesus. Despite being beaten and chained, they sing praises to God at midnight — and suddenly, an earthquake shakes the whole prison, opening every door and breaking every chain.

But instead of escaping, Paul and Silas stay — and their kindness leads the jailer and his family to discover the life-changing joy of Jesus.

With powerful storytelling and bold, dramatic illustrations, this book helps children see that Jesus’ love cannot be stopped, and His good news is for everyone, everywhere.
