About this collection

Stories of hope, faith and new life for the Easter season, to read with family, share in a Sunday school class or use in an Easter service.

The Empty Egg is the Easter story readers share most: a boy named Jeremy brings an empty egg to class and teaches everyone the meaning of the empty tomb. Pine Tree Crosses is about the new growth that appears on pine trees at Easter, and The Easter Miracle is a true story about Grandma Lily, who raised eight children through the Depression. Do You Believe in Easter? and Good Friday: What’s “Good” About It? reflect on why the cross and the empty tomb still matter.

You’ll also find Easter poems, an Easter cookie recipe that teaches the story to children, and short parables about Heaven. For more seasonal reading, visit our holidays section.
