Barney’s Barrel: An Illustrated Gospel Story Booklet is a touching narrative about a poor homeless boy whose only shelter is a barrel. Through the intervention of a faithful worker, he comes to know Lord Jesus as his Savior. As his health deteriorates, he is discovered by a policeman and taken to a hospital. Before his passing, he shares the message of salvation with two nurses and a doctor. This heartwarming story emphasizes the transformative power of faith and compassion.

The booklet serves as a powerful teaching tool, especially when paired with The Wordless Book, which uses colors to convey the Gospel message. In this case, Barney’s Barrel illustrates how even in the direst circumstances, the light of Christ can shine through and impact lives.
