Endorsements

“Ann Ingalls has created a guide for even the youngest believers to walk with Jesus through his Passion and Resurrection, and to experience his great love for each one of us. I highly recommend Journey with Jesus to every family and Christian classroom seeking to provide their children with a meaningful Lent and Easter!”
—Father Charles N. Rowe, Vicar General-Vicar for Clergy, Diocese of Kansas City St. Joseph

“Journey with Jesus is a beautifully illustrated book for our youngest students. Once published, I will be sharing it with my preschool through second graders. The rhyming creates a flow to the book that is perfect for this age range and helps when broaching the sensitive topic of Jesus’s crucifixion before the joyful news of His resurrection and the lasting impact on us. This story is so important—I guarantee that I won’t be able to keep it on my shelves during the Lenten season.”
—Amy Lutter, Library Media Specialist

“From Jesus’ triumphal entry on a donkey to His resurrection three days after giving His life on the cross, Journey with Jesus takes children through the entire Easter story in rhythmic, rhyming verse. Ann Ingalls captivates the reader’s attention – children’s and adults’ – and tells the rich story of salvation. Beautiful illustrations accompany the words on each page. A must-have for the Easter season and should be read year-round.”
—Julie Lavender, author of Children’s Bible Stories for Bedtime
