Easter Book Roundup

Hey Supporters, 


Happy April! Easter is just 9 days away!  Last year, I sent several of the little ones in my life an Easter Activity book.  This year I was thinking it would be nice to give an Easter story book to several of the little people in my life. So what follows are several recommendations for a few Easter books for your child’s Easter basket, or just to share the true meaning of Easter.  Each of the books below focuses on the true meaning of Easter.  In addition, if you order through Amazon (just click the picture on links) you can get most of the books in time for Easter.

Please feel free to add your favorite Easter book in the comment section,

As always, please pray for me as I pray for you,
