The Way to the Savior by Jeff and Abbey Land


Here is the book summary:

Amid the hustle and bustle of springtime chores and storefront bunnies, focusing your children on the true meaning of Easter can be a challenge. But this forty-day devotional brings the family together and shows them the way to the Savior instead. 
 
As a follow-up to the successful Christmas title The Way to the Manger, Jeff and Abbey Land now guide families as they explore and celebrate eight aspects of Lent, the season leading up to Easter: Forgiveness, Hope, Trust, Thanksgiving, Love, Commitment, Obedience, and Jesus’ Last Days.
 
Filled with discussion questions, easy family activities, and prayers, this collection of devotions can become a family keepsake, bringing your family together to celebrate the Easter season and the way to the Savior year after year.

And now, my review:
The Way to the Savior by Jeff and Abbey Land is a wonderful Easter devotional to do with your children.  It is set up to enjoy all the 40 days leading up to Easter.  Each day has a theme, a devotional reading, a cross connection that brings the topic to question how it connects with all that Jesus faced for us, and then it has a Scripture verse page.  All of the pages are full-colored and beautifully done.  I find that the age range on this is for 4-12 years old an that’s pretty accurate.  Twelve might be too old for this one but I also know that it was good reminders for the older ones as well.  It is always good to be challenged by personal questions that take you responding to them to solidify growth in your life.

Journey to the Cross by Mary Carver and (in)courage




Here is the book summary:
In Journey to the Cross, you will be guided through forty days of encouragement that will help prepare your heart for Easter during the season of Lent. Through Scripture, short essays, encouraging stories, quotes, reflective questions, and prayers, you will be pushed to set aside the chaos and concerns of everyday life to focus on Christ. You will also enjoy being led through the meaningful themes of sacrifice, reflection, gratitude, prayer, and fasting. Prayers and quotes offer reminders of what Jesus has done for you through the resurrection, helping you kindle thankfulness and strip away anything that is standing between you and God so you can experience the full life He promises.
 
Whether you’re a lifelong believer or a new one, any woman looking to find more meaning in the weeks leading to Easter will find it in Journey to the Cross. Featuring (in)courage’s warm, authentic, and encouraging voice, this book focuses not on your phase of life or circumstances, but on your heart, making it a fulfilling read for women of all ages and stages. It also makes a great gift, which God could use in the lives of your friends, daughters, or ministry partners to help them better experience the power and wonder of Easter with more intentionality and depth.

And now, my review:
I really appreciated reading Journey to the Cross by Mary Carver and (in)courage.  This book is a journey to the cross and a great Easter devotional that leads the reader to read a bit of Scripture, followed by some thoughts, and ending with a few challenging questions.  I thought this was put together well.  Something you can do on your own or do it along with your family as you pass the 40 days leading up to Easter.

Uncovering the Love of Jesus by Asheritah Ciuciu



Here is the book summary:
Experience New Growth this Easter
Do you feel like Easter sneaks up on you, as if you’re spiritually and emotionally unprepared to celebrate Jesus’ death and resurrection as victorious King?
In Uncovering the Love of Jesus, Asheritah Ciuciu invites you to reclaim the Lenten season with 40 devotionals that reveal the deep love of Jesus that's exhibited at the cross and tomb. Each daily reflection looks at Jesus’ personal interactions in Scripture and leads you in meditation on a new aspect of His love. Don’t let Easter pass by this year. Reflect, engage, and be transformed as you uncover the love of Jesus and learn to love your neighbor as He would.
Includes optional family activities to help you celebrate Jesus together.

And now, my review:
Uncovering the Love of Jesus by Asheritah Ciuciu is a 7 week + devotional leading up to Easter.  What a blessing it is to look forward to reading each day as you approach Resurrection Sunday.  She gives great challenges and ideas for family memory making.  Along with that, she also includes a daily prayer and some cross-references. I have really enjoyed this author’s other work and this is right up there with what she has published so far.  I’m praying for more by her.
