"Once there was a man who loved big enough to change the world..." This story of Easter is written in an engaging way for children. By helping children and adults experience the mystery of the story, it encourages questions and deep reflection. Emphasizing Jesus' teaching that people "love God, love their neighbor, love themselves," as well as the affirmation that God is always with us, "This is the Mystery of Easter" invites children into the wonder of the story. Written by a United Church of Christ pastor with a passion for doing theology with children, the story is told with simple, profound text. The illustrations are both beautiful and understated, encouraging children to grow into the story so that it becomes a foundation for a life lived in courage and love.
