A captivating tale with timeless impact of a young lad who discovers what his world would be like if Jesus had never been born. This unimaginable notion will surely generate thought-provoking discussions, whether at the kitchen table, before bedtime, in the car or classroom.
If He Had Not Come is a great little book. At only 36 pages long, this book explores a world in which Christ hasn’t redeemed.
Â
How would our world be without His influence and redemption?
Â
In this book, a young boy wakes up on Christmas morning to discover that Christ had not come. No Christmas, no goodwill, and no churches.
Â
My children enjoyed this book, though they were confused by a few things. Some of those things included: five-and-dime stores and children’s homes. While children’s homes still exist—you don’t often see a gated, foreboding home meant for them.
Â
I appreciated that a plan of salvation was presented in the back of the book. It gave this short story a little more substance.
Â
The illustrations were not my favorite but the children didn’t seem to mind them.
