Summary

A picture book that introduces young readers to the story of Bible—all in one sitting!—and invites them into God’s great plan.

One Perfect Plan is a fun, accessible retelling of biblical tales through engaging poems by Nancy Tupper Ling—each three to six lines long—and breathtaking illustrations by Alina Chau.

Start with memorable Old Testament stories, from Adam and Eve, Noah and the Flood to Daniel and the Lion's Den. Then explore iconic stories from the New Testament including the birth of Jesus, his death and resurrection, and the promise of new life in Christ! Whether at bedtime, during a snack, or even just getting ready for the day, families can get through the Bible's entire story arc and discover God's redemptive plan for them in a singular read-aloud.

One word—
then light breaks into darkness;
the sky, the seas, and life—how wondrous!

One world—
now broken as sin enters in.
How will our Father restore it again?

One God—
whose plan is perfect and true—
will bring new life to me and to you.
