That Easter Morn

That Easter Morn recalls the awe of the miraculous resurrection of our Lord; celebrates the forgiveness that is ours through Christ’s suffering and death on our behalf; and encourages our joyous response as His dear children. The Easter hymn, “O Sons and Daughters of the King,” LW 130, serves as the text for this picture book.

The reader is invited to recall the news that the tomb was empty and to praise God that He delivered us from eternal death to eternal life through the work of Jesus Christ.

This book will captivate children with the drama and the excitement of that amazing morning. And adults welcome the opportunity to tell of the fulfillment of God’s promise to His people that He would send us a Savior from sin. As the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, God came in the flesh to us all and brought forgiveness by taking on our sin.

Using the text of the traditional hymn and classic-style illustrations to depict the events of that first Easter morning, this book will communicate the awe and joy of our Savior’s resurrection as we cry with Thomas, “You are my Lord and my God!”
