The First Easter

Every Easter begins with a sad day and ends with the happiest day — and this book follows that same path. Told simply for children ages six to twelve, the true story of the first Easter begins gently: Jesus died on the cross because He loves us (told honestly but briefly, with no frightening details), and then comes the wonder — early, early in the morning, the tomb is empty. "He is not here — He is risen!" Your child will run with the women to tell the good news, hear Jesus say "Peace to you," and share breakfast with Him on the beach. The sadness turns to joy, and the book lands where every Easter should land: Jesus is alive — forever. Every chapter ends with a Do or a Pray, moving the story from long ago into your child's own heart. Perfect for ages 6–12, one five-minute chapter at a time — and worth reading all year, not just at Easter.
