The Baptism Of Jesus : A Story From The Jordan River eBook

This beautifully illustrated book for children tells the story of the inspiring meeting between Jesus and his precursor, John the Baptist. The Jordan River and the baptismal site "Yardenit on the River" perform a leading role as well.

Jim Reimann, a minister, author and tour leader who had led more than 25 pilgrimages to Israel, tells the story for children in an engaging rhyming text. The book combines the Biblical story of the Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River with the story of the present day "Yardenit Baptismal Site", located on the same ancient river.

In addition to the remarkable illustrations of the historical events, in the book you will find a photo of the "wall of New Life" that encircles "Yardenit", bearing the verses of Mark 1:9-11 in more then 80 languages and dialects. Each visitor will find these holy verses in his own mother tongue. Also included is a note to parents and teachers indicating the Bible passage upon which the Bible story portion of the book is based (Mark 1: 1-11). This makes the book more adaptable for families or classes with wide-ranging ages.
