"It can be a challenge to convey Jesus' path to the cross without frightening young readers. Paraclete author Ann Ingalls and illustrator Steliyana Doneva accomplish this with Journey with Jesus: An Easter Story." -- Publisher's Weekly "Ann Ingalls has created a guide for even the youngest believers to walk with Jesus through his Passion and Resurrection, and to experience his great love for each one of us. I highly recommend Journey with Jesus to every family and Christian classroom seeking to provide their children with a meaningful Lent and Easter!" -- Father Charles N. Rowe , Vicar General-Vicar for Clergy, Diocese of Kansas City St. Joseph " Journey with Jesus is a beautifully illustrated book for our youngest students. Once published, I will be sharing it with my preschool through second graders. The rhyming creates a flow to the book that is perfect for this age range and helps when broaching the sensitive topic of Jesus's crucifixion before the joyful news of His resurrection and the lasting impact on us.
This story is so important--I guarantee that I won't be able to keep it on my shelves during the Lenten season." -- Amy Lutter , Library Media Specialist "From Jesus' triumphal entry on a donkey to His resurrection three days after giving His life on the cross, Journey with Jesus takes children through the entire Easter story in rhythmic, rhyming verse. Ann Ingalls captivates the reader's attention - children's and adults' - and tells the rich story of salvation. Beautiful illustrations accompany the words on each page. A must-have for the Easter season and should be read year-round." -- Julie Lavender , author of Children's Bible Stories for Bedtime "The accuracy in storytelling and illustration in Journey with Jesus gives numerous opportunities to teach, encourage, and explain the true meaning of Easter. This book is sure to encourage its readers as it depicts the resurrection and the joy of knowing that Jesus is not dead but is alive to bring salvation to all who believe." --Gail Cartee , Write2Ignite "Journey with Jesus is an excellent resource for Christian families.
It could also serve as an introduction to Lent and Easter for families with young children who have just been introduced to the gospel or who have a desire to learn about Jesus." -- The Banner.
