Quotes

“Children look to us for everything, but when it comes to their devotional life, I think we sometimes forget to give them hope.” - Sally Lloyd-Jones

“What I wanted to do with these stories was paint a portrait of Jesus to show them just how much love He has for each person He’s meeting. It’s not about them being good enough, it’s about the rescuer who’s come to love us.” - Sally Lloyd-Jones

“If I’m doing my job right, if I am making sure I’ve distilled the stories and I’ve gotten myself out of the way and shown the beauty of the gospel, then it’s the power of the gospel that’s taking these stories all over the world.” - Sally Lloyd-Jones

“Your job isn’t to give children all the answers, it’s to raise the right questions.” - Sally Lloyd-Jones
