Good Friday

The boys and I have been reading a really good book that we got from the Library called Peter's First Easter. It's both a picture book and a chapter book that gives a first-person account of what St. Peter was going through from The Last Supper to the Resurrection. Each chapter is fairly short and it's broken up in such a way that Tonight we will read about the Crucifixion, Tomorrow we will read about Jesus in the tomb and on Sunday we will read about the Resurrection and so on. The refreshing thing about it is that the book is neither dumbed down nor too hard for my boys to wrap their minds around. The first-person narrative really sucks one in and humanizes Peter. We have read this for a couple of years. I am seriously considering buying this from Amazon.com. I also see that there is another book written by the same people titled Mary's First Christmas.
