The Good Samaritan (Bible for Children)

A simple act of kindness can change everything. In this gentle retelling of one of Jesus’ most beloved parables, children discover what it truly means to love our neighbors—especially when it’s hard.

When a traveler is hurt and left alone on the road, several people pass by without helping. But then someone unexpected stops—a Samaritan, a stranger from a group that didn’t get along with the traveler’s people. Instead of walking away, he shows compassion, care, and courage. His kindness becomes a powerful lesson that still speaks to us today.

This timeless story comes to life with clear language, thoughtful pacing, and illustrations that help young readers see themselves in every character. The message is simple yet profound: kindness is a choice we can make every day.

Children will learn:

• Why Jesus told this parable and what it teaches about love
• How small acts of compassion can make a big difference
• That being a “neighbor” is about actions, not labels
• How to recognize opportunities to help others

Perfect for bedtime reading, Sunday school, classrooms, and family discussions, The Good Samaritan (Bible for Children) invites kids to imagine a kinder world—and to help create it.
