Are you looking for a children’s book on the last week of Jesus?  This new book published by New Growth Press might be a book you want to get!  It is meant for children ages three to seven.  I read this aloud to my daughters and they loved it.

I wanted to read this book to my kids since previously I have been blessed by the author’s work for kids with the same publisher, New Growth Press.  This work continue in the same vein of being biblical, clear to understand for young children and also have illustrations that are kid-friendly.

The book consists of four “chapters.”  In the first part the book goes over the story of Christ’s triumphant entry.  This is followed by “Jesus’ last supper” and “Jesus died for us.”  The final chapter is titled “Jesus lives” and goes over the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  Together they cover the last week of Jesus.

I was quite blessed to go over this book with my daughters.  I found the language and vocabulary just right at the kids’ level.  I also enjoyed how each section also give Scriptural references so that one can look it up in more details from God’s Word.  This is extremely helpful for me.  I do recommend this.
