Go and Do Likewise! The Parables and Wisdom of Jesus
By John Hendrix
Published by Abrams Books, February, 2021

Review
Go and Do Likewise is a collection of Christ's parables. You won't find watered-down gospels or fanciful interpretations; rather, you get a clear, accurate version of scripture; the meaning of words/concepts that may pose challenges is provided within the story (i.e. who Levites are or why a Samaritan helping an Israelite is significant). Comprised of one narrative in which Jesus walks from town to town preaching, readers will learn the questions posed to Jesus, his responses, and the crowds' reactions to his teaching. From the builders who constructed their houses on rock vs. sand to the Good Samaritan and more, Christians will recognize familiar lessons while non-Christians can gain an understanding of the foundations of the Christian faith.

Between the appealing pictures, oversized words (which T loves to read himself), comfortable pacing, and scripture-based content, Go and Do Likewise has become a fast favorite in our house. I recommend this for Christians and non-Christians alike – young readers will come away will a solid understanding of the tenets of Christian faith.
