Throughout the Bible, the lamb is a symbol of Jesus. But Jesus also calls Himself the Good Shepherd. And who is His flock? The lamb also symbolizes you!

How would you feel watching Jesus die on the cross? Would you jump for joy at seeing Him after He rose? So come and follow this little lamb as he tells the story of Jesus and all He is planning for you.

The little lamb in this story answers some of these questions and tells of his role in the nativity story and beyond.

From the snake in the Garden of Eden to the lost sheep in Luke's parable, stories about fish and birds, rams and goats abound. We read about them, but they have no voice of their own. Here we allow the raven and the dove on Noah's ark, the big fish that swallowed Jonah, and the donkey on which Balaam rode, to be the narrators of their own stories, to inform us and help us to re-imagine our stories. We learn something about the intrinsic value of all living beings, and something about ourselves.

She finally found peace when she understood the gospel, and then she devoted her life to sharing the good news with others.
