Follow God’s story of love, hope, and rescue from Genesis to the Gospels in God with Us, a captivating graphic novel through stories told by Jesus himself—a perfect gift for Easter!

God with Us is a beautiful, compelling, intimate retelling of the Bible’s most beloved stories, one that children will read over and over again.”—Shawn Smucker, author of The Day the Angels Fell

The long walk home after celebrating Passover in Jerusalem should be a joyful journey, but this year the travelers are sad and afraid. Then a mysterious stranger shows up and starts telling stories—from many years ago all the way up to the recent death of Yeshua (Jesus) on the cross—and the friends can’t wait to hear more.

God with Us is an intriguing, funny, and heartfelt journey that explores Scripture from Creation to the Easter Resurrection through the eyes of curious children (and grown-ups!) walking with Yeshua on the Road to Emmaus.
Matt Mikalatos has been a youth pastor, missionary, and clerk at a comic book shop. He has a master’s degree in biblical and theological studies and also a very large rabbit named Bruce. He’s an award-winning author who lives with his wife and three kids in the Portland, Oregon, area.

David Shephard’s illustration career spanned nearly forty years, and his clients included many design and advertising agencies, book publishers, magazines, and newspapers. Over the years he found himself more and more drawn to illustration for children and teenagers. He illustrated many children's books and graphic novels from his Sussex studio, which had a cracking view of the Norman castle next door.
