Easter Stories: Classic Tales for the Holy Season is a
collection of stories by various writers. Some are well know like C.S. Lewis,
Leo Tolstoy, and Oscar Wilde and some are less known at least by me. The
collection begins with a poem by Jayne Tyson Clement called Carol of Hope and
it is followed by 27 more short stories that make great devotionals leading up
to Easter but could also be enjoyed any time of the year. They are written like fables and have an
underlying meaning about Christ and his love for us. One of my favorites was
Robin Redbreast by Selma Lagerlof. It was a story about a Robin waiting on its
red breast and wondering why he was gray, a story about God completing us when
He is ready.
If you are looking for a good family devotion to teach your
children the true meaning of Easter, to teach them it’s not about eggs and
Easter bunnies this would be a great book. Each story is short enough that it
doesn’t take a long time to read and discuss. It is also good for an individual
devotion time just to prepare your heart and a time to reflect on just what
Christ has done for us.
I received this book at no charge from Handlebar Publishing
in exchange for an honest review.
