Jesus Heals: An Anatomy Primer (Baby Believer)

I love this book! I love the simplistic approach for teaching children about God! I got this book and quickly went back for the rest of the series.

Often times I feel I am not "creative" enough or "too busy" to minister to my child. This book helps to teach the Gospel as well as help them learn new words. I love the baby believer book series. I have also purchased the other ones. These hard covers are sturdy, informative and with great illustrations.

Our 2 year old loves learning about his body parts and a big thing we are constantly praying.m and declaring in our home is that our bodies are healed. So cool that we get to read about the specific body parts and diseases that Jesus healed in the Bible!

My toddler’s shelves are filled with all manner of books some silly and some unbelievably profound that they bring tears of encouragement and conviction to my eyes as we wrestle and read the pages. The Baby Believer series fits that second description, and this newest book in the series (Jesus Heals: An Anatomy Primer) is no exception.Who should read/buy this book: Parents, parents-to-be, grandparents, kids, babies, church libraries, Sunday school classes—anyone who knows and loves a child, wants to communicate timeless messages of God’s truth about the body and Christ’s power to heal.How should you read it: Loudly, quietly, ACTIVELY! Because of how the book is laid out and designed, it’s interactive and instructive, both on a practical, functional level and on a spiritual level. My toddler loves pointing out his hands, back, eyes, legs, eyes (ouch--ha!), and ears and pointing out the body parts on the page.What is fantastic about this book: The beautifully illustrated pages spark interest and capture the imagination of even my most rambunctious boy. The text is largely Scripture, and so it’s powerful, concise, and can spark conversations and reminders about the stories of healing in the Gospels.Where does Jesus Heals take you: On each spread, a different miracle is recounted, and we can be encouraged from the text of the Bible of God’s power over physical infirmities. But ultimately, the book concludes that the physical healings were not Jesus’s main goal but to glorify God and heal our spiritual sickness through His death, burial, and resurrection. Teaching our little ones that God loves and cares for their bodies and their hearts is a central theme in Jesus Heals and one that this mom needs to hear too.“Christ carried our sins in his body on the cross. He did this so that we would stop living for sin and start living for what is right. And we are healed because of his wounds.” 1 Peter 2:24 ICB

I bought this for my two sons one is 8 months, and the other is 3. My dad just got hospitalized the same day I got this book. It was so easy to let him know Papa will be okay because this book let his imagination see that! Its a very easy read with scripture but good pictures to keep his attention. At the end of the book it tells how Jesus took our sin to the cross. My son is OBESSED with baby Jesus in our nativity scene so when he say Jesus at the end he said "King Jesus!". Thank you authors for creating a book to help make Jesus real to my babies <3

Danielle Hitchen and Jessica Blanchard have done it again! Jesus Heals is the perfect addition to the Baby Believer collection. This gorgeous board book teaches my kids different parts of the body WHILE teaching Biblical truths. I have a three year old son and a five year old son. Both of my boys love readIng this book! Their favorite part is turning the book vertically for different body parts.I strongly believe that a child’s spiritual foundation begins on day one. This book, along with the other Baby Believer books, are a great way for parents to teach kids about Jesus. This book is a must have for your child’s library.

The pictures of everyday people experiencing healing from Jesus accompanied by scripture are captivating to my 2-year-old. The text flows easily from one instance of God showing the world who Jesus was (his Son) and how he works to make all things new. The final conclusion that by Christ's wounds WE are healed is powerful and almost brings this mama to tears each time we read it. Grateful for another beautiful book to add to our collection of Catechesis books!

I give the books in this series as baby gifts quite often. They are engaging and theologically sound.
