Way back in 1989 as a young Bible college student, Andrew was asked to give the dreaded ‘children’s talk’ at a large church. Andrew possessed one talent: he could draw sheep. He bought some overhead projector film and drew up the story of Cecil. The congregation loved it, so Andrew continued to draw stories to use with kids and adults. Other students, pastors and teachers started borrowing the stories. . . .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore devoting all his time to Lost Sheep, Andrew was pastor of the WestCare community in Adelaide South Australia. WestCare is an inner city Baptist mission working amongst the homeless, supporting people struggling with addictions and advocating for refugees. Andrew is still part of the WestCare community and hopes that the Lost Sheep stories will result in a generation of kids who follow Jesus by caring about those who are at the edge of our society. He regularly tells stories and conducts workshops in schools and churches.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"cecil-and-psalm-8-lost-sheep","title":"Cecil And Psalm 8","description":"What on earth are you doing?

Jesus was a Refugee is based on that unsettling bit of the Christmas story in Mathew 2:1-23. This never makes it into the end of year nativity play. So, why tell the escape to Egypt story to children? Simply because it is a Jesus story and it mirrors the story of 70 million people including 25 million children around the world who have been forced from their homes.\nAndrew McDonough’s vivid and visual storytelling takes us beyond the joy of the Christmas story to the danger and disorientation of Jesus’ early years. It reminds us of the realities which refugees continue to experience in our world. It should be told alongside the traditional Nativity each year.","brand":"Andrew McDonough","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45276857270591,"sku":"9781912863013","price":7.27,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/8883\/6671\/products\/9781912863013.jpg?v=1685951615"},{"product_id":"the-image-of-god","title":"The Image Of God","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen Jesus wanted to change lives he told stories.
