About Easter Stories:

Everyone who believes Easter is about more than Easter egg hunts will be grateful for this new anthology of short stories that illumine the true meaning of the season. Selected for their spiritual value and literary quality, these classic tales capture the spirit of Holy Week and Easter in a way that will captivate readers of all ages. Parents and grandparents will find that children love to hear these stories read aloud, year after year.

Easter Stories includes time-honored favorites from world-famous storytellers such as C.S. Lewis, Leo Tolstoy, Selma Lagerlof, Oscar Wilde, Elizabeth Goudge, Maxim Gorky, Ruth Sawyer, Anton Chekhov, and Walter Wangerin – as well as many you’ve never heard before. 

My thoughts:

There are 28 great stories about classic tales for the Easter Holiday such as "The Church of the Washing of the Feet" which is a story about the reconciliation in apartheid-era South America and "The White Lily" a story about a White Lily that changes the lives of a hardened man, a frightened, timid boy and a scared dog. In each story we see how Jesus changes our lives in different ways. I started reading this book while on a drive to a town 4 hours away from us. I decided to start reading aloud after my son had to wait for while to let his tablet charge up. Not knowing if he was really listening I stopped reading aloud. Next thing I know he is asking me to continue reading, so I read till we reached our destination. On the way back home both my husband and son asked me to read the book again, apparently my husband was enjoying the stories also. I think this book is a great addition to our family library. 

The book is illustrated with original woodcuts by Lisa Toth. You can visit Plough Publishing to learn more and connect with them on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Google Plus to hear about new releases, specials, and promotions. Purchase a copy on Amazon.
