The God Contest: The True Story of Elijah, Jesus, and the Greatest Victory

A dramatic story that shows children that the one true God — the God of Elijah and Jesus — always wins!

The God Contest retells two of the most powerful Bible moments side by side — Elijah’s showdown with the prophets of Baal, and Jesus’ ultimate victory on the cross.

Through vivid storytelling and bold illustrations, children will see that the same God who sent fire from heaven to prove His power is the same God who sent His Son to rescue us from sin and death. This book beautifully connects the Old and New Testament stories, helping little readers understand that the Bible tells one big story — of a God who always wins.

Written by Carl Laferton and illustrated by Catalina Echeverri, this title from the Tales That Tell the Truth series invites families to celebrate the greatest contest of all — and the greatest victory ever won.
