Publisher's Synopsis
Want to make Easter last for the whole season? Learn the Gospel stories of the Resurrection by heart.
Easter is more than a solitary day of chocolate and festive hats. Easter is a season. With this book, you can enter into Easter like never before.
Every day during Easter, you'll learn one new verse of the Resurrection stories. This unique series of short, easy memory lessons will make the memorizing simple.
Many books offer a daily verse, but how long do you remember what you merely read? Learning these stories, verse by verse, will lift your thoughts to a new level. As you renew these stories, you'll find new meanings and images in the familiar words.
Think you have a bad memory? Impossible! You've just proven that your memory is excellent (see page 36). Easter by Heart will show you how to use your memory in new ways.
But don't worry, you won't need crazy memory tricks. Instead, you'll learn how to make the Bible come alive through expression, your imagination, and even rhythm (see page 27). With an innovative combination of simple techniques like these, you'll make these stories part of you.
How do you make a season come to life? By learning to think new thoughts. But you can only think with what you remember.
