I AM: Stories from the Gospel of John

“I Am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live.”

God’s people were waiting. Hundreds of years had passed since they’d heard his voice through a prophet. Would he be silent forever?

Then, one day, a man traveled to the Jordan to see a preacher called John. When he approached, John shouted, “Look! There is the Lamb of God!”

What an incredible claim. Who was this man? Could he be the one God’s people were waiting for?

In this book written for Middle Grade readers (8-12s), Laura Cerbus imaginatively retells the eight “I Am” sayings of Jesus from the point of view of John, the Gospel writer, helping children engage with God’s word.
