About This Book

The text explains death as the soul leaving the body and affirms that Jesus has power to restore life. It recounts a grieving father bringing his dying twelve-year-old daughter to Jesus, who declares she only sleeps, removes mockers, and restores the girl's life, then asks that she be given something to eat. The remainder addresses children directly, encouraging Bible reading, prayer, obedience, and reflection on the soul, and closes with a short devotional poem and a prayer.
