"The Child Who Died and Lived Again" by Favell Lee Mortimer is a children's religious story written in the mid-19th century. The book is designed to impart moral and spiritual lessons to young readers, centering on themes of faith and resurrection. It draws from biblical narratives to convey deep truths about life, death, and the existence of the soul. The narrative revolves around the story of Jairus, a father who pleads with Jesus to heal his dying twelve-year-old daughter. Despite receiving news of her death, Jesus reassures Jairus and proceeds to his home. In a powerful moment, Jesus takes the girl's hand and commands her to rise, restoring her life, demonstrating His divine authority over death. The book emphasizes the power of faith and the belief in eternal life, portraying the relationship between Jesus and his followers while encouraging young readers to reflect on their own beliefs and actions as they grow. Through its simple yet profound storytelling, the book seeks to comfort and inspire children in their understanding of mortality and faith.
