I love Easter. I mean really love it. More than Christmas. One of my favorite activities during the Easter season is to read beautiful books. It’s the same with Christmas. But while Christmas is often overshadowed with commercialism, I somehow find it easier to fall into step with the meaning of Easter.
But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. ~Mark 16:4-6
Don’t misunderstand, we do enjoy some of the other activities surrounding Easter, like dyeing eggs and family dinner, but it just seems simpler somehow to focus on the reason for the season at Easter time.
Since reading books is such a special part of how we celebrate the resurrection of our Savior, I thought I would share some of our favorite books. A couple of these do focus on the more secular traditions, but most just focus on Jesus. I hope you enjoy. To learn more about each book, just click on the image.
