[quote=Anonymous]There are books that do just what you're describing, e.g.,:
https://www.amazon.com/What-You-Believe-Big-Questions/dp/0756672287/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1472158750&sr=1-1&keywords=what+do+you+believe

I would get him a basic illustrated bible, e.g.,:
https://www.amazon.com/Childrens-Illustrated-Bible-Small/dp/0756609356/ref=pd_sim_14_26?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=13N7BR8RZPEA68HZZJ1G

Bible stories supply the backbone for many modern stories, e.g., East of Eden is Cain and Able.  I read bible stories along with folktales and Greek myths, book of saints along who's who in mythology.

I also think fiction stories can support Christian beliefs that are shared by many other religions and beliefs.  Oscar Wilde's The Selfish Giant is a metaphor for Christ as is Aslan in C.S. Lewis' The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.  Humility, putting others before yourself are universal.

Here are some beautiful picture books to add to the mix:

Each Kindness:
