Jesus the Life-Giver
by Katherine Loop

Jesus--The Life-Giver is a family devotional for Easter week (Palm Sunday through Easter Sunday). Katherine Loop, a homeschool graduate, and her mom Cris designed the devotional specifically to meet the needs of homeschool families who were looking for something meaningful they could do with their children to prepare them for Easter.The devotional also comes with instructions on how to let children make their own paper flower gardens as they listen to the devotional readings. The flower craft is coordinated with the devotional to help reinforce the devotional's message. For example, on the first day the devotional discusses our need for Jesus to bring us life. The paper flower the children decorate that day (the paper flowers are all included on one page of the devotional--you just have to print them out) has a small snowflake on it to remind the children of God's promise to bring us life. Children glue the snowflake flower to a black backing to remind them of how hopeless our hearts are without Jesus.

The readings themselves are written simply enough for children to grasp, yet contain plenty of application and thought-provoking questions for parents too ;). The entire family will be challenged to let the truths of Easter change the way they live every day of their lives.
