A Sweet Treat with Eternal Meaning
Free Children’s Story: “The Cookie and the Cross” by Adam Ortega
Halloween night gives us a special opportunity — one where the world comes knocking on our doors.
And when they do, we can offer more than candy… we can offer hope.
To help you share the love of Jesus with young hearts, I’ve created a free storybook that you can give away alongside your treats.
It’s called “The Cookie and the Cross.”
This gentle, heartwarming story helps children understand what sin is, why honesty matters, and how Jesus came to forgive us and make us clean inside.
Beautifully illustrated and filled with Scripture, this story is perfect for families, Sunday School groups, and community outreach.

You can read it right now, share it with others, or print copies for your outreach.

This story is 30 beautifully illustrated pages long, designed to capture hearts and open conversations about Jesus.

A single share could be the moment someone first hears that Jesus loves them and died to forgive their sins.

This story pairs beautifully with our free printable gospel tract — both available here on the same page.
