LOVELAND, Colo., Feb. 2, 2018 /Christian Newswire/ -- A newly released book aims to introduce kids to a new friend, Jesus.

Notes From Jesus: What Your New Best Friend Wants You to Know, the latest offering from Lifetree and Group Publishing, was created specifically to help young believers learn how Jesus sees them, and wants to be in daily relationship with them.

Featuring 28 personal messages written to readers from Jesus' perspective, the book covers topics ranging from "I love being with you" and "I'll never get tired of your questions" to "My friends don't always agree" and "I made you for a purpose."

In addition, each message includes an inspirational Bible verse, and practical, kid-sized ideas of how readers can become better friends with Jesus.

Craig Cable, director of church publishing for Lifetree, explained the book was designed for children, but can also have a large impact on parents and adults.

"This book was created for a simple purpose, to help readers see that Jesus doesn't just want to be their friend, but he wants to be their best friend," said Cable. "It's a message that can have a profound impact as children grow into their faith."

Notes From Jesus is the newest offering in the Lifetree Kids line of resources, which includes the popular Friends With God Story Bible.

Notes From Jesus released on February 1, 2018, and can be found on MyLifetree.com, Amazon.com, and at other popular Christian retailers.

Lifetree is a division of Group Publishing, an interdenominational organization whose mission is to help people grow in relationship with Jesus and each other.
