Jump Aboard the Bus

by Emma Major

Divine Routes is a series of short books explaining the Christian faith to pre-school and Key Stage 1 children. The series uses buses and their journeys on their bus routes to convey the biblical messages. The text is perfect for being read aloud and also easy to read for first readers. God is the Bus Controller in the stories, with Jesus the bus conductor. The buses are people, with children denoted by mini-buses. There are six routes, each donated by a colour; red, yellow, green, blue, orange and purple; these denote six of the routes we may take to know God, to the divine. Each route has a “driver” associated with the buses; this is the Holy Spirit.Jump Aboard the Bus introduces the characters from the Divine Routes series; this story shows how everyone has their own individual spiritual path to God. Each of us has our own route to take, right for us and watched over by God. This story reminds us that God is watching over us, on the end of the radio in prayer whenever we need Him. It reassures us that we do not drive our route alone; we have the Holy Spirit with us to guide us in our lives.The story also assures us that Jesus has travelled the routes before us. Through Jesus’ life God knows our lives, routes and needs.The current books in the Divine Routes Series – Jump Aboard the Bus2 – Good Samaritan3 – Lost Sheep4 – Prodigal Son5 – The Sower
