Children's Easter Books:

The Easter Party 
It is a windy day, so Rocky Rabbit and Chubby Chick are out flying their brightly colored kite. When it gets taken by the wind, everyone else is too busy to help them find it.

The two characters are endearing heroes for young children, and the scenes are beautifully rendered in watercolor illustrations by Lucy Su

The Easter Bunny That Overslept 
One spring morning, the Easter Bunny skips merrily along to deliver his colorful, hand-painted eggs. But the children tell him that it's Mother's Day, which can only mean one thing: HE SLEPT THROUGH EASTER!

The Resurrected Life: Understanding the Meaning of Easter 
This beautifully constructed 4-part program explores the meaning of Easter, helping viewers to relate it to their own lives. The segments -- Crucifixion, Resurrection, Transformation and Reconciliation -- form a logical progression in studying Christ's message, while the hypnotic photography sweeping across the Holy Land draws us into the commentary of a well-balanced, culturally diverse group of clergy and academics who provide wonderfully practical and thoughtful insights about the hard work of dying to our old life and rising to a new level of spirituality. A visually appealing, intellectually satisfying program that could provide a framework for religious retreats or adult study groups, this is highly recommended for anyone seeking to better understand the spirit of Christianity.

The Easter God 
One constant theme runs through the writing of John V. Taylor: that of passing through darkness to light, from winter to spring, from death to life. The moving force is the spirit of the God who raised Jesus from the dead and who even now animates and renews his people. Following broadly the rhythm of the Christian year, from Advent to Pentecost, The Easter God draws on John V. Taylor's unpublished sermons from his time as Bishop of Winchester and beyond. It demonstrates in his incomparably graceful and poetic style what God has done for us and what it means to live in the light of this as God's Easter people.
