The plot begins with the death and resurrection of Lazarus. After this undeniable miracle, Jewish priests and teachers scheme to arrest Jesus and condemn him to death.

Judas's betrayal, the foot washing, and the Last Supper, are all presented in a simple yet profound way so that children can begin to grasp not just the events of the story, but the meaning behind the events. The trial, the denial, and the crowd calling "Crucify Him!" are each given a short, yet clear, section in this full retelling of the most wonderful story on earth.

This book includes the resurrection appearances of Jesus and ends with the story of doubting Thomas. Then the author asks the listener, in an age-appropriate way, "Do you believe that Jesus is alive, even if you haven't seen him?" Four simple steps are given to help parents lead their child to new life in Christ.
