Summary: A thorn bush that never receives any attention, is face to face with Jesus. His recalls Jesus as having a kind face even though in such danger. One day a guard comes and takes the bushes thorns. The thorn bush later sees those thorns on top of Jesus head. A drop of blood falls of the thorn bush's blossom and instantly falls to the ground. Three days later Jesus arose from the grave, and the thorn bush bloomed the most beautiful blossom with a dot of red in the center. It had been touched by the blood of Jesus.
How would use: Well I could only use in a Christian School (which I hope to teach at one day). This book would be a great way to show that Jesus pays attention to everyone and anyone. Just because you have "thorns" doesn't mean that God will not use you. You make think you are ugly but Jesus think you are wonderful just the way you are. We would also discuss the seriousness of this event and the realism of exactly how large the thorns used for Jesus's crown were.
