IF JESUS WAS BORN TODAY

Proposal

PROPOSED TITLE: If Jesus Was Born Today

AUTHOR: Troy Schmidt

ONE LINE DESCRIPTION
With a fun and light-hearted approach, If Jesus Was Born Today is a new way for children to look at the birth of Jesus…WHAT IF Jesus came to the earth in a modern day setting.

OVERVIEW
If Jesus was born today, would Mary and Joseph ride in a beat-up old car? Would the Wise Men be science teachers in fancy flying machines? Instead of shepherds, would the angels visit firemen and truck drivers, the blue collar workers of our time? If Jesus Was Born Today takes a new look at the difficulties a poor couple would face giving birth to a Messiah in a fast-paced, modern world.

TAKE AWAY VALUE
Children can picture this story through new eyes, as they re-examine the birth of Jesus in a modern-day setting. If Jesus Was Born Today will help children appreciate the difficulties Mary and Joseph faced, in their time, to give birth to the Messiah. The story reveals the extent God will go through to reach his people at any time in history.

FORMAT
Illustrated, hardcover, 24 pages, 500 words

UNIQUENESS
The book will retell the Christmas story, giving new inspiration and insight into the original.

The book will find humor in our modern world, but not make fun of sacredness of the original story.

The illustrations in the book will engage the young reader, creating a fun and light-hearted appeal to one of our favorite stories.

The book would make a wonderful live presentation or children's play.

COMPETING PRODUCTS
There are many retellings of the birth of Christ, but none take a modern day view of the event with this "lighter" touch.

SERIES POTENTIAL
The style and approach of this book project would be perfect for additional titles in a series, such as If David Fought Goliath Today, If Noah Built His Ark Today, etc.

TARGET AUDIENCE
Children, ages 2-5.
Parents who love reading stories to their children.
Teachers of pre-school and children.

OTHER READERS
Teachers of young children will appreciate this book, especially around Christmas.
