Kingdom Files: Who Is Jesus?

This book attempts to categorize Biblical characters and events into sections that are more easily digestible for younger readers.
First, Biblical persons are discussed in a short biography that is easy to read. Secondly, the Biblical facts and historical backgrounds and explanations of about the character are plainly showcased in a short, pithy section of text that is easily read and understood.
Finally, there is a section that helps the reader to apply what he has learned.
This book focuses on Jesus’ life and teachings in a way that is interesting for a junior high level student or a younger student with assistance can learn about the Bible and its teachings.

This was an innovative way to share the story of Jesus. It is presented as a file of accounts of His life, with clues along to way to help you apply the truths to your own life. I found it accurate and interesting.

Kingdom Files: Who is Jesus
By Matt Koceich
This book along with the others of this series highlight a character of the Bible in a case study manner. This book gets straight to the point and discusses Jesus, his life on earth and as our Heavenly Father. I would say this book compared to the others is more of a devotional like study of Jesus. There were clues providing practical life applications throughout the book as well as the Power file which gave mini-studies on Jesus’s attributes that I thought were great for kids to learn from.
Overall this was a great study for early teens.

I have never seen such a unique approach to teaching children about Bible characters! Part research guide, part adventure, part detective, part Bible study, and more.

This is a fantastic book for the curious learner in your life. It's put together in a fun format which makes it engaging for children. I felt like this made Jesus more relatable and puts the details of his life and ministry in a way children can connect with that is different from how they might approach him while reading their Bibles. The text is Biblical and sound with a unique interpretation.

It reads like an adventure book with great spots for personal reflection and connecting to God too. I think this would be a fun first book club book for children, a family Bible study, or even a book for a homeschool co-op to use. Can't wait to see what other books in this series Matt Koceich puts out!

#KingdomFiles:WhoWasJesus is an excellent read. I was thankful to NetGalley for providing me with an electronic version of this book. The opinions expressed are my own.

Kingdom Files is a collection of religious children's books published by Barbour for starting to create a strong familiarity with the various main characters from the Bible. The name: Kingdom Files says all.

These cute, colored books present various Bible's characters like, Daniel, David, Ether. The one I picked up is: Who is Jesus? by Matt Koceich, an inspiring biography of the Son of God starting with his detailed arrival to the world, his childhood and main facts characterizing his existence; we will explore His time, places where He lived in, people touched His existence, His miracles from the beginning of His activity, response of people and His action in this world. The book is divided in three sections: a Fact File, an Action File and a Power File
Many curiosities will be satisfied for the joy of children for ending with some meditations about the importance of reading the Bible everyday, being joyous, praying, loving others, having mercy, forgiving, and in synthesis being good people in this world.

Highly recommended.

I thank NetGalley and Barbour for this eBook.

This book for young people presents a biography of Jesus’ life. As many facts are given about his life in stories from the bible, clues are thrown in to present additional facts, references, and even conclusions about how Jesus’ actions impact life. Finally at the end actions are aimed at the reader such as read your bible, pray and worship, and believe.
