Life can be hard. Difficult times happen, and pain cannot be avoided. When life doesn’t make sense, do you turn to god or away from him? let the book of esther encourage you that god is always present. Jesus called us “friends†( john 15:15), and the spirit is our “helper†(14:26). Trust and obey, as esther did. And watch god silently weave all events.
Question: "what are the origins of easter?" answer: the origins of are obscure. It is often assumed that the name easter comes from a pagan figure called eastre (or eostre) who was celebrated as the goddess of spring by the saxons of northern europe. According to the theory, eastre was the “goddess of the east (from where the sun rises),†her symbol was the hare (a symbol of fertility), and a festival called eastre was held during the spring equinox by the saxons to honor her. This theory on the origin of easter is highly problematic, however.

I am already searching for the other books in the series. The illustrations are very friendly and cartoon like and the "flaps" are actually an intergral part of the story. Best use of flaps that i have seen. The easter story of jesus is nicely explained without the blood & gore that i feel is inappropriate at this age. The text flows nicely and is an "easy" story to read out loud to my child. I would highly recommend this story.
Published by thriftbooks. Com user , 19 years ago we use this book in our church school classes, mostly because of the way it depicts the events of holy week.

The best part about the book is the way the angels (in all their glory) watch over the events. For young children the ideas of the crucifixtion are particularly alarming.

The scene at the tomb gives an interesting interpretation of all the gospel versions with angels sitting atop the tombstone, hovering aloft and waiting inside. This book does a wonderful job of supporting discussion and deepening mediation.
