The Diary of a Disciple series is an award winning collection of contemporary children's books, retelling the Gospel.

These were brought for kids 5-11s at our after school club (of non Christian background) as part of a gift. Luke’s Story tells you who Jesus is, what he did, the people he met, all the super interesting things he had to say, and it has a pretty jaw-dropping twist right at the end… Diary of a disciple: Luke’s Story is a contemporary retelling of Luke’s Gospel.
