Customer Reviews

Excellent writing, excellent illustrations

In this excellent book, children's author Elizabeth Winthrop takes the story of Jesus' crucifixion from the gospel of St. Matthew, and, remaining true to the King James Version original, adapts the story for the young reader. Going along with the text is Charles Mikolaycak's wonderful illustrations, which have subdued colors and a style that goes a long way in supporting the text.Now, this is the unvarnished Biblical text, and the images of a bleeding Christ might be a bit much for very young readers. But, that said, if you want to introduce the young person in your life to the real reason for the season of Easter, then I highly recommend this book!

Christian Easter

It is a good tool to use to share the Resurrection of Christ with young children. This adaptation stays true to the text of the King James version of the Bible and the illustrator's interpretation of the text is inspiring.
