About this ebook

On the rocky hill the young jerboas watched as the one they called the king hung on the cross, dying. Suddenly, the earth began to tremble, then rumble, then quake. Rocks split and tombs broke open. The dove said, "They will take Jesus's body and lay him in a tomb. The serpents think they’ve won a victory, but on the third day Jesus will rise, just as he said. The serpents don’t realize that darkness has already been defeated and soon Jesus will appear—alive!"

The Death and the Victory by bestselling author Marty Machowski follows the adventures of the animals who could have witnessed the events of the New Testament from Jesus’s death through Revelation. Join jerboas at the cross, horses at Christ’s empty tomb, leopards watching Jesus ascend to heaven, turtledoves at Pentecost, squirrels who follow Saul to Damascus, and many animals on the island of Patmos with John.

The Death and the Victory is the fourth of four books in the Redemption Tales series for ages 8–12, retelling Bible narratives from the perspective of the animals who could have witnessed the events firsthand. Each story includes Bible study questions to acquaint kids with the “truth behind the tales” and offers a new point of view of God’s overarching story of redemption found throughout his Word.
