Meet Jesus: The Life and Lessons of a Beloved Teacher

Meet Jesus is a picture book that introduces young children (ages 4-8) to Jesus and his lessons of love, kindness, forgiveness and peace. Meet Jesus emphasizes the humanity rather than the divinity of Jesus, giving the story broad appeal for liberal or progressive Christians and non-Christians alike. The text includes Bible references with corresponding Bible passages in the back of the book.

When Lynn Tuttle Gunney could not find a book about the historical Jesus for her two young children, she decided to write one. A writer all her life, Gunney has had a career in business communications for nearly 20 years. She is a member of the Public Relations Society of America and the Society of Children s Book Writers and Illustrators. Gunney lives with her family in the San Francisco Bay area and teaches religious education to young children at Mount Diablo Unitarian Universalist Church in Walnut Creek, California.
