In the oral culture of Somalia, many stories are told with a message that contains wisdom. When one starts telling such a story, attention is drawn with the first sentence: sheekooy, sheeko, sheeko xariira. A story, a story, it’s time for a story…
The Lord Jesus also told many stories of wisdom to the people. One of these stories is described in Matthew 18:21-35.
The story is about being forgiven by God and how to forgive others.
The drawings in this booklet are made as if the story takes place in Somalia. That is why this story of the Lord Jesus will come close to everyday life.
In addition to this parable of Lord Jesus, some additional texts have been added, including the Lord’s Prayer.
All texts are in both Somali and English.
The book is suitable for both children and adults who can enjoy the culturally sensitive drawings!
For those who want to know more, the book contains a reference to a website where you can find the Bible.
