Journey, Easter Journey

By Dandi Daley Mackall

Book Overview

As the second book in author Dandi Mackall's seasonal series, Journey, Easter Journey presents the biblical story of Christ's life, death, and resurrection in a way that is engaging and appropriate for young children. Mackall's first book in the series was Off to Plymouth Rock Great for kids age 3-7, this short, poetic verse with brilliant illustrations is lighthearted but filled with reverence for the sacrifice Christ paid. This story presents the life of Christ as a journey, beginning in Bethlehem with His birth, then moving on to His life in Nazareth and Galilee, telling about His Father's love. Finally, Christ's journey to Calvary, and the wondering if this was His journey's end. But indeed it wasn't the end, as His journey continued with His resurrection and ascension. This short verse concludes with the encouragement that someday we can all journey on to heaven and be together with Christ. Perfect for Easter story-telling or for using as a teaching tool with homeschoolers.

Sweet story and favorite

I can’t read this book to my kids without holding back tears. Sweetest and a favorite. I can’t find it new anymore. :(

Choked Up!

I can barely get through this book without choking up. It is such a sweet, sweet story about Jesus' journey to the cross. My 2 year old daughter loves the sing songy words to this book.

Destined to be a family treasure!

My 20 month old little girl will not put this book down. She chooses it from the bookcase all by herself and wants it read over and over. The rhyming text is wonderful, a true joy to read. The illustrations are magnificant. Thank you Mr Mackall for allowing God to use you to bring my family this wonderful tool for teaching the true meaning of Easter. It has become a true treasure for us and we will certainly be passing it on through gift giving. If you buy one book for Easter this is the one.

brilliant illustrations

Gene Barretta has got to be one of the best illustrators working today. His illustrations are so creative and vivid and detailed. They are breathtaking and add tremendously to the beautiful story.
