The Story of Easter: Retold by Gwen Ellis

The Story of Easter
Retold by Gwen Ellis

The Story of Easter retold by Gwen Ellis is an easy to read and to understand accounting of the resurrection of Christ. The book is divided into sections beginning with Jesus' donkey ride into Jerusalem. The Story takes the reader through the Crucifixion of Jesus to Jesus going into Heaven.

My four year old listened to me read it and then could easily answer questions and retell the story herself. The Crucifixion part is retold in a gentle way as to convey the message but not the gore. I give this book an A++.

As a bonus the book comes with a companion DVD. The DVD goes through the chapters of the book and then adds a few other stories from the Bible. The Bible characters are portrayed in a fun but loving way that attracts a child’s attention. We watched it over and over. The DVD also includes fun games for children to play on the computer.

Jane Austen by Peter Leithart- Book Review for BookSneeze.com

Peter Leithart uses daily accountings of Jane Austen’s life to present a beautiful illustration of what Austen’s life was like. Thorough letters from Jane herself to others and family memories after Jane’s death the reader is presented with a realistic look at how Jane viewed herself and those around her. She seems to wholeheartedly cling to her Christian beliefs however she always inserts her own whimsical sense of humor to any situation. This book was a very easy read and lets the reader see another side to the famous Jane Austen.  I recommend this book to anyone who has read any of Jane Austen's novels.
