On the Third Day

Jesus rose in glory from the dead two thousand years ago. How can He still be the most important Person in our lives?Tristan and Annemarie are grieving after their mother's death. Their father fulfills his promise to her that he would take them to Sunday Mass, but he doesn't attend anymore himself. And now the children's faith is weakening.It's Palm Sunday and Dad is late picking them up from church. The two siblings wander down the lane and come across a lamb in distress.They run to tell the sheep farmer, and spark off a week of amazing adventures that bring the New Testament into the present. When Good Friday arrives, their eyes are opened, and they fully grasp the role they've played in Jesus' death - two thousand years after the historical event.The surprise that greets them on Easter Sunday brings joy to the children: it sheds light on why Jesus' Resurrection is significant for us today, and how it should shape our lives.A wonderful gift for children ages 8 to 12.
