What better cause for celebration than history's greatest event-the resurrection of Jesus Christ? No other holiday season so marvelously sums up the triumphant love of God as does Easter Week. This year you can help your family capture the full significance of Easter with Christ in Easter: A Family Celebration of Holy Week.

Beginning with Palm Sunday and highlighting all the major events of Holy Week (including the Last Supper, Good Friday, and the Resurrection), Christ in Easter will take you on an inspiring journey through the dramatic incidents leading up to the miraculous victory we celebrate on Easter.

Woven around devotionals and insights by contributing authors Charles Colson, Billy Graham, Max Lucado, and Joni Eareckson Tada are hymns and poems, prayers, Word studies, Scripture passages, questions to ponder and discuss, special activities for children and adults, and intriguing background information on the events, characters, culture, and location of the Easter story.

This review is from: Christ in Easter: A Family Celebration of Holy Week (Paperback)

This series of devotionals is best for families with older children. It relies heavily on reading aloud contributions from authors Charles Colson, Billy Graham, Max Lucado, and Joni Eareckson Tada. It has hymn lyrics, poems, prayers, Word studies, Scripture passages, discussion questions, and family activities.
My favorite activites from the book are:
- Make a Psalm Palm by having each person write a short things praising God for who He is what he has done on narrow strips of green paper, then glue them on a big piece of paper in the shape of a palm branch.
- Family sunrise service: choose a place where you can watch the sun rise as you read and pray together as a family, followed by a special breakfast.
