“Since most Evangelicals do not follow the church calendar, Easter often catches us unprepared. Barbara Reaoch comes to our aid with a four-week series of devotionals for parents and children that will increase our sense of joy at Easter These devotionals are well-crafted, theologically sound and doable. They could be used year after year as a wonderful family tradition.”

“In this 4-week study, Barbara Reaoch has provided a wonderful resource that helps children understand the reason for Christ’s coming. The selection and discussion of passages is superb, and the questions, memory verses, and hymns fit so beautifully with the theme of each lesson. This book is clear and understandable, theologically rich and Scripturally faithful. Any child who studies or is guided through, this book will be greatly blessed.”

“Our family has benefitted greatly from this devotional for several years. Writing with our children in mind, my mom compiled these lessons as a way of mentoring her grandchildren from a distance (my parents were serving as missionaries in South Africa at the time, and we were at seminary in Louisville, Kentucky). For our young children, this has been a wonderful, Gospel-centered way to focus our thoughts and guide our discussions in the weeks leading up to Easter. We will enjoy the devotional in a new way this year with the addition of the illustrations by my Aunt Carol. We hope this resource will be a blessing to your family as well!”
