Talitha Koum!

By Kimani Upshur, M.Ed.

When Jairus’s twelve-year-old daughter was dying, her father ran to Jesus and fell at His feet — and Jesus went with him. On the way, Jesus stopped for a suffering woman who had touched His garment in faith, and by the time they reached the house, the worst news had come: the little girl had died. But Jesus took her by the hand and spoke the gentle words this book is named for, and she got up and walked — and His next instruction was to give her something to eat. Told chapter by chapter from Mark 5 with a simple thing to do or pray at the end of each one, this is a tender story of a Jesus who is never too busy for a child.

Written from a Christian worldview — Scripture first.
