“To grasp the timeless story of the resurrection is to open one’s heart to a life-change that will last for all of eternity. This is why I am so excited about Why Easter? Using the familiar teaching tools of reading, discussion, singing, and memorizing, Barbara Reaoch employs every means possible to illuminate Christ’s resurrection to thirsty young hearts and minds. The lessons are deep, true, fascinating, and insightful—I heartily recommend this remarkable book to children’s leaders, parents, and teachers; most of all, I recommend Why Easter? to every child!”

“In this four-week study, Barbara Reaoch has provided a wonderful resource that helps children understand the reason for Christ’s coming. The selection and discussion of passages is superb, and the  questions, memory verses, and hymns fit beautifully with the theme of each lesson. This book is clear and understandable, theologically rich and Scripturally faithful. Any child who studies or is guided through this book will be greatly blessed.”

—Jean Nystrand, former Executive Director of Bible Study Fellowship

“I cannot imagine a child or parent who would not benefit from Why Easter? With remarkable age-appropriate sensitivity, the daily readings leading up to Easter give great help to parents who are making time for instruction and discussion a priority. What a beautiful and worthy book!”
