The Story of Easter begins with the crowds holding palm branches and waiting in Jerusalem for Jesus Christ and ends when the disciples receive the Holy Spirit and go out to spread the news of his resurrection. The narrative details how Thomas finds it so hard to believe the resurrection is really true, and Jesus cooks the fishermen disciple's breakfast on the shore. Doyle effectively captures the drama and significance of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection in his narrative.
John Hayson's delicate, yet dramatic, watercolor illustrations bring to life the dramatic events of more than 2000 years ago. This book makes an excellent Easter gift to be presented to children in the age group of 8 to 12 years.
