Goodbye to Goodbyes: A True Story About Jesus, Lazarus, and an Empty Tomb by Lauren Chandler

Teach Young Children That Jesus Came to End Goodbyes

Jesus knew how scary it is when someone becomes very sick, and He understood how sad it is when someone dies. Jesus Himself cried when His friend Lazarus died. But at his friend's tomb, Jesus did something that changed everything—He showed that He came to give His friends life after death.

In this vivid, moving, and exciting retelling of the story of Lazarus, Lauren Chandler helps children understand that Jesus came to say goodbye to goodbyes—forever.

Lauren Chandler, wife of Pastor Matt Chandler, drew from the story of Lazarus to help her own children cope after her husband's brain tumor diagnosis. Whether children are grappling with the illness or loss of a loved one, or simply fearing the possibility, this book reassures them with the amazing truth that Jesus came to give His friends eternal life.
