Christian Easter Books
Christmas isn’t the only time that we need to remind ourselves of the “reason for the season”. In the hustle and bustle of Easter-themed fun, it can be easy to jump straight to all the pastels without really spending enough time talking about the reason for Easter. Let’s take some time to be intentional this Easter and review the Gospel story of Jesus’ death and resurrection that led to OUR salvation. No matter how cute all the little Spring critters are, JESUS is the one who’s going to make a difference in the lives of our sweet little ones at home.
