Onesimus: The Runaway Who Came Home

By Joshua Schmidt

One runaway servant. One heavy choice. One God who makes it matter.

When a young servant named Onesimus fled his master's house in Colossae, he never imagined he would face a choice that could change everything. Keep running and hide forever... or return and risk rejection, trusting the grace of a God he had just met.

His story echoes through time - and now, it's your turn to discover what forgiveness really means.

In this unforgettable children's Bible story from the Children of the Word Series, kids will:

Step into Onesimus's world and experience his journey from runaway to redeemed.

Connect through a modern-day parable featuring Ethan, a boy who makes a mistake and discovers the power of grace and second chances.

Learn how God's forgiveness restores us - and how we can share that forgiveness with others.

Perfect for kids ages 6-11, this book brings Scripture to life through relatable storytelling and a powerful reminder:

Forgiveness doesn't erase what happened.
Forgiveness transforms what's possible.

Whether for bedtime reading, Sunday school, homeschool lessons, or family devotionals, Onesimus: Grace That Brings Us Home will inspire children to trust God's mercy - and discover the freedom only He can give.
