Lent & Easter Books

A warm and inviting retelling of the story of Peter denying Jesus and then being forgiven on the beach. Details draw the reader in. Was my three year olds favorite book. Deep enough content for older kids, but the delivery is so elegant it works for younger kids too.

A delightful and unique book that takes a creative first hand look at highlights from Jesus ministry, including the last supper and death and resurrection. Illustrations are stunning and draw all ages in. Text invites a deeper, fresh lok at what a first hand experience with Jesus might have been like.

A beautiful retelling of the story arc of scripture, with an empahsis on the hurt caused by sin, failed chances at redemption, and the perfect salvation only possibly through Christ. The illustrations are moving and the story if poignant. A fresh and memorable perspective on the story we've heard over and over.

The story of the fall and redemption through Christ's death and resurrection told through the allegory of a prince coming to town to drink poison to rescue his people. He dies and the king brings him back to life.

A very simple explanation of the events of holy week, but done in a meaningful way. Rather than boring, my kids found it refreshing to have such simple yet meaningful explanations.

Story follows a pretend boy living at the time of Jesus and watching the events of Holy week unfold. He collects tidbits for memories and keeps them in his special box. These items correspond with items in the coordinating Resurrection Eggs. But books also works on its own.

A well written rhyming picture book that tells the story of holy week with quite a bit of detail and theological explanations. Includes the ascension.

An engaging and simple but complete summary of the events of Easter, perfect for the littlest ones.

With easy to understand text, connects the story of the passover and escape from Egypt with the story of Jesus' death and resurrection. A fresh angle, and well done.

A more in-depth look at some of the events of Holy Week, as told from the perspective of a young boy talking to his parents about Easter. Note: a few of the illustrations get a bit graphic.

A rhyming retelling of Jesus appearing to the two traveling to Emmaus. Stays very true to scripture (Luke 24). A unique angle and story for the Easter season--one that is not often seen in children's books.

A very moving emotional retelling of the events from Holy Week as seen through Peter's eyes. Much detail is added, making the story feel very realisitic. Best for older kids.

A unique retelling of Mary's encounter with Jesus when she is the first to see him after he is risen. Artistic and creative, the story connects Jesus resurrection back to the Garden and Eden. Inspires deeper thought about Mary's experience meeting Jesus that morning.

A 40-day devotional reflecting on what the scriptures tell us about who Jesus is. Works well as a daily family devotional during Lent.

A two-week devotional covering the events of holy week and just after, leading up to the ascension and pentecost. Each entry has scripture references, 1-2 pages of reading, an illustration, and a few questions. Reading is fairly dense, so it's best for ages 6+

A very simple board book with the clear, beautiful truth of the gospel.

A FREE Lent family Worship guide which includes a neat confession liturgy, hymn recommendations, and weekly reflections and suggestions activities.

A delightful book that tells the overarching redemption story of the Bible, but with a focus on the purpose of the cross. Details such as the curtain being torn are described in clear concrete detail in a way that makes the book very engaging and moving. Meaningful to a very large age range.
