About this ebook
Putting the Bible back into Easter...
Read the whole story in 100 words a day. A page-a-day calendar with simple text and illustrations for Lent, starting with creation on Ash Wednesday and ending with the promise of Salvation on Easter Sunday...
because Easter doesn't begin or end with rabbits and baskets and eggs.
A What IF...S Inspired by Faith and Science book,
because the answers can't breathe if we don't ask
questions.
