Customer Reviews

Wonderful spiritual insights for children

I am a Christian elementary school teacher. I used this book for my daily Easter devotions. The details went far beyond the "usual" Easter stories. They were factual,in depth and challenging spiritually. My class begged me to read more each day. My rating was a little lower because the price was a little higher than I expected. I recommend this book for anyone who wants their child to truly understand Christ's Journey to the Cross.

Wonderful Telling of the Passion Week

Helen Haidle along with her husband, David, and son, Paul, have put together a marvelous volume to introduce and fascinate your child with the last week of Jesus' life as He moved toward the cross and His resurrection. Each chapter is only 2-3 pages of text and is fully illustrated. Each chapter also includes additional material directly related to the chapter. This additional information goes into greater detail to explain background information. The 3-4 questions included with each chapter draw the child into the story with at least one to get them thinking about the truth. I have been going through this book with my eight-year-old daughter, and she is fascinated by the story. It has become her favorite devotional.

Loving and thoughtful...

This story of Christ is lovingly told using words carefully chosen to reach the heart of a child. The journey's beautiful illustrations captivate the reading audiance while complimenting the thoughtful text. Additional explanations are given to highlight Bible times, and to further relate them to current life. This book makes a wonderful additon to the library of any 8 - 12 year old.
