Jesus, Strong and Kind by Sinclair Ferguson. CF4Kids. 72 pages. 2024
****

In this children’s book (recommended for children 5-11 years of age), respected theologian and grandfather Sinclair Ferguson uses the lyrics of the CityAlight song “Jesus, Strong and Kind”, to teach children about Jesus. The author uses one word from each verse of the song – Thirst, Weak, Fear and Lost – and then takes us to stories from the Gospel to illustrate that aspect of Jesus. The book is beautifully illustrated by Angelo Ruta.
“Jesus, Strong and Kind” was written by Rich Thompson, Jonny Robinson, Michael Farren and Colin Buchanan. Buchanan writes the Foreword to the book. There is a code you can scan with your phone to watch CityAlight singing the song, which children will get to sing throughout the book.
