A wholesome and life-shaping good-news story, charmingly illustrated." Rev'd Dr Robin Parry, author of The Biblical Cosmos and editor for Wipf and Stock Publishers "In The Great Victor, Manuel Becker has retrieved the historic gospel as 'eucatastrophe'--the good news of the Savior's grand victory. Beautiful echoes of C.S. Lewis and Tolkien's good-news storytelling that will ignite children's imaginations with eternal truth."

Sadly, many 'Christian' books, I would not. But, The Great Victor is an exception. It is a wonderful and creative telling of humanity's journey that is easily accessible to both adults and children, with an underlying theology that I can trust." Paul Young, author of #1 New York Times bestseller The Shack, Cross Roads, Eve and Lies We Believe About God No human explanation can exhaust the wonder of God’s love given to us in the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus (“Joshua,” in Hebrew: “God is Salvation”). Yet, in this beautiful little story, Manuel Becker reminds us that God is Love, Relentless Love. He does not change; we change. And Love does not fail. In Jesus, God reveals his heart, and earns our trust. Trust is Faith won by Grace: The Victor. Peter Hiett, Pastor of the Sanctuary Denver and author of The History of Time and The Genesis of You The Great Victor is a wonderful children's book that brings the best news of all time to the point in a timeless manner. Creatively and excitingly, it conveys an ingenious image of God that I wish every child with all my heart. I hope that this book will circulate widely because I believe it is a very valuable contribution to a person's early positive spiritual development. Uwe X.
