Anyone who knows me knows I love books that answer life’s questions. I have finally found a book that answers the question of why do we color Easter eggs. The story covers a little boy named Thomas and his journey to learning/remembering the meaning of Easter eggs. Thomas and his sister are playing and he asks “What are Easter eggs?” Instead of answering right away, the sister teases him. Later that night, she becomes sick and Thomas is separated from his sister while she recovers. While staying with family friends, Thomas learns about Christ’s death, resurrection, and the reason we should have hope.
My only complaints about this book are that it does not include Bible verses or focus more on the resurrection. The book does end with a discussion of the traditions and symbols of the Easter season. The illustrations are wonderful and remind you of a simpler time. It also includes several wonderful vocabulary words and would make a wonderful addition to a homeschoolers library. In fact, check out homeschoolshares for a lapbook activity. http://www.homeschoolshare.com/legend_of_the_easter_egg.php So before your Easter egg hunt this year, read The Legend of the Easter Egg and help them understand the connection of Easter eggs to the resurrection of Christ. I am super excited that my friends at Zonder agreed to give one supporter a copy of The Legend of the Easter Egg as well as two other books The Berenstain Bears Keep the Faith and 101 Bible Stories from Creation to Revelation. One winner will receive all three books. Books will be shipped from Zondervan. Please use the Rafflecopter below to enter. Until next time, please continue to pray for me as I pray for you. Corine Hey Supporters, I know some of your are authors and/or bloggers; because of that I wanted to share this wonderful new resources that I found. I just finished reading a book entitled: The Essential Guide to Successful Publicity Kits and I am super excited about it. (So excited I decided to post twice in one week). I just made a media kit for one of my books in under 2 hours. Check out the before and after pics (and yes I am now embarrassed by the before pic, lol). The author of this book is selling The Essential Guide to Successful Publicity Kits PLUS another book called Monkey See, Monkey Do (a book about how to use PicMonkey) and a mini-ebook called Blogging Tips and Tricks for $12 (ends 3/19/2014). I am so excited about these resources and think they are well worth the investment. http://bit.ly/1lU4Hrw To signup for PicMonkey click here. There is a free version or you can upgrade for as little as $2.75 a month. Until next time, please pray for me as I pray for you, Corine It’s my birthday today and as I reflect on the past 35 years, I realized I have been blessed beyond my wildest dreams. First and foremost, God has blessed me with a mother who has prayed for me before I was born. Since my birth, there have been other blessings both small (a smile from a stranger to brighten a long day) and great (publishing four books, graduating from college, obtaining my Ph.D.). In the months leading up to my birthday, I have been praying about how I can be more of a blessing to others. Therefore, I am officially declaring my 35th year on this earth as a year of blessing others. To start this year off, I would like to bless all of my supporters with a free PDF copy of my book My Journey with Jesus Christ, just use the discount code “bday” at checkout.
