Real Bad Guys: A Story about Good vs. Bad and the Way God Sees It - Hardcover
by Jimmy Needham (Author), Sebastian Martin (Artist)
With the help of a rogues' gallery of cartoonish villains, young readers will learn that all people have some bad inside of them (where it counts) and that Jesus, the only Real Good Guy, can redeem them from their sin.
Even young children can spot a bad guy when they see one. In most fairy tales, comic books, and cartoons, the lines between good and evil are drawn in broad strokes. After all, if it looks like a bad guy and talks like a bad guy. . . But according to God, only what's inside of each person's heart counts. By that measure, we're all Real Bad Guys in need of Jesus, the only Real Good Guy to save us. In Real Bad Guys, children will meet Millie, an everyday kid who learns from a who's-who of stereotypical hoodlums that everybody sins and has fallen short of God's standard for goodness. Also, because we can't see the condition of people's hearts, we can't judge them by their appearance. Filled with fun and humor, Real Bad Guys cleverly and effectively explains the problem of sin and its solution to children ages eight and up.Jimmy Needham is a REAL BAD GUY who's loved by the only REAL GOOD GUY.
