Drawn to the Gospels cover

The anticipated third book in the series brings wit and insight to every Sunday.

Entries for all of the Sundays in the lectionary year contain a cartoon, a short introduction, and some engaging questions.

Each week brings a lighthearted opportunity to remember that humor and the gospel are not mutually exclusive.
The Drawn to the Gospels series covers all of the Sundays in the lectionary year, as well as special days such as Christmas, Epiphany, Ash Wednesday, and Ascension Day. Each entry contains a cartoon illustration of the gospel, a short paragraph of introduction, and some engaging questions. The cartoons are scaled so they can be reproduced for bulletins, inserts, or even posters, bringing weekly gospel readings to life.

These amusing and original reflections deepen scriptural literacy and engagement among members of the Episcopal Church, including youth groups, and will inspire some fun in the process.

Drawn to the Gospels is a resource that I have been seeking for some time. As a Christian educator, I am always looking for innovative, accessible, and creative ways to use word and art to tell the Story of our faith. Jay is a master of the pen and he has created a resource that does just that. You are certain to be drawn in to Drawn to the Gospels!


Jay Sidebotham has created a resource that is part bulletin cover, part Sunday school lesson, and all formation. As we try to squeeze more into each week and shave precious minutes off of Christian education hours, Drawn to the Gospels offers a few moments of solid formation, helpfully available in bulletin size!
