What an idea! Use this to walk your family through the big story of the Bible to prepare for Easter. Let's do it!
I’m always looking for fresh resources to help my children engage in the story of scripture and this devotional hits all the right notes. With simple language, engaging questions, clear truths, and a realistic timeframe (this is key!), this is a truly wonderful resource for even the busiest parents to help their children understand the power of the resurrection and God’s perfect plan.
It’s hard for me to believe, but one of my favorite children’s books just got better. The Garden, The Curtain, and The Cross is both an outstanding introduction to the Christian faith and a soul-stirring encouragement to those who already believe. This devotional guide anticipates thoughtful questions, equips you to discover the answers, and presents the subject manner in a worship-full tone.
From the collection of books that Catalina illustrated…this is one of the few that retold the story of Adam & Eve. Overall it was written pretty well (and of course the illustrations are beautiful!! I am so delighted with all of Catalina’s works)…but I was disappointed with one important part that this author has missed/dropped and that is the serpent! Instead, he only mentioned that adam & eve sinned against God, and what sin is and it just did not feel right , nor accurate… i believe mentioning that the devil tricked eve in the first place is super important and should not be missed/reworded as if it was all adam & eve’s fault. It is the devil who wants us to be separated from God. thankfully it is in the illustration so one can always just add that part to tell the kids. There is another book in this illustrator’s collection which i think retold the story much better, more accurate, more concise and easier for kids to even just relate to or understand. It’s the Any time Any place Any prayer- there is a part in the beginning with adam & eve and i just think it was perfectly spot on in super summarising the Bible for little kids! And such a beautiful way of telling us how much God loves us and wants to be with us!!
We absolutely love this collection,
My daughter gave one of these books to her first grade teacher and she loved it.
While The Garden, The Curtain and The Cross is a children's book, all ages can learn from the spiritual connections it makes between the Old and New Testaments. Carl Laferton has become my favorite author of Children's books.
This is one of my highest-recommended children's books! We bulk-ordered it and passed them out to all the kids at our church on Easter Sunday! A comprehensive Biblical look at the whole Gospel in terms children can understand and adults can enjoy.
Kids love it and request to re-read it constantly!
We used this in collaboration with and Easter event we held for families at our church. Families were given this outside of the event but then at the event, the story was read and a storyboard craft was created by all families attending. The partnership of both pieces allowed us to have a united Lent discipleship moment for our families!
This is lovely book which gives the big overarching story of the gospel in a very relevant way with great illustrations.
It kept my kids’ attention and has a great message!
This is a wonderful book. Our church shared this with us and we got a copy to read at home to the kids. The story is great and the images are engaging for the kids.
I am not easy to impress when it comes to Christian children’s books, as it is hard to find one that strikes the balance of child-level communication while still maintaining the depth and fullness of the Word of God. The Garden, The Curtain, and The Cross blew me away. Honestly, as a 30-something who has been in church her whole life, I have drawn understanding and insight for myself from the simplicity but DEPTH and big picture biblical perspective of this book. Thank you for remaining faithful to the truth of God’s Word without dumbing it down and without admixture of the world’s philosophies. This book is gold.
