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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Telling of the Passion Week, February 12, 2008

This review is from: Journey to the Cross: The Complete Easter Story for Young Readers (Hardcover)

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.

This review is from: Journey to the Cross: The Complete Easter Story for Young Readers (Hardcover)

I homeschool my sons and have been using this book as a daily lesson leading up to Easter. My 7 year old has thoroughly enjoyed it, and it's been touching his heart. In fact, I believe it has eloquently and simply explained Christ's sacrifice in a way that is very real to a young child.
Each lesson ends with 3 thought-provoking questions. I've seen my son's heart stirred by these questions, and even a few tears shed out of gratefulness for Jesus' sacrifice as well as sadness for his suffering.
