If you only read one Easter book this year, make it this one. In fact, read it on the regular throughout the year! Before I read it for the first time a few years ago, I had never seen such a clear explanation (on a child’s level) of the “law vs. gospel” aspect of Scripture.

It is the most beautiful message there is.
