How do you and your children prepare for Easter? Next year, you can prepare with 'Twas the Season of Lent: Devotions and Stories for the Lenten and Easter Season. This beautiful hardcover book is written by Glenys Nellist and illustrated by Elena Selivanova.
With 'Twas the Season of Lent, your family can start a new Lenten tradition. Over the course of forty days, you will share "the powerful meaning of Lent through prose and poetry, Scripture and prayer" (book jacket). Each day provides a specific message from the Bible, and most include a prayer.
Woven through the book is a poem similar to 'Twas the Night Before Christmas. If your children are familiar with that poem, they will definitely enjoy the reading of this book each day.
The topics and messages shared are those familiar to Christian families. On day one, children learn about Lent and then move on to read or hear about:
- Four fishermen who join Jesus
- Jesus as a teacher
- Nicodemus and his questions
- How to pray and what to pray
- Parables
- And more.
