The Good News

What it is

The Evangelion of Marcion of Sinope, the text that came before Luke, the gospel of the Good Father whose Son arrived without prophecy and without judgment, has lived only in scholarly editions, in languages children cannot read, behind apparatus children cannot follow. This is the first children's edition ever made. Five stories. Two compact scenes. Four illustrated vignettes. Five bridges between them. A set of traditional prayers to the Good Father, including the Cathar Benedicite, said for eight hundred years before bed and before meals. 114 pages, 8 by 10 inches, full colour throughout, ages 8 and up. Released freely so the children may receive it.
