Download Free Kindle Versions of Two Lenten/Paschal Children's Books
Free Kindle versions of Pascha at the Duck Pond and The Three-Day Pascha are available via Amazon through February 17. The Three-Day Pascha uses simple verse to engage children in the story of our Lord’s crucifixion, entombment, and Resurrection. In Pascha at the Duck Pond, as the animals at the Duck Pond journey through Great Lent towards Pascha (Easter), they learn that Lent is not about the rules, but allowing God to change our hearts through love and repentance.
