The Lenten Tree: Devotions for Children and Adults to Prepare for Christ's Death and His Resurrection

by Dean Lambert Smith, Ginger Meador (Illustrator)

The Lenten tree contains eighty-two Lenten devotions for children and adults that will enable individuals and families to travel on a meaningful journey through Lent, the season before Easter.

Each devotion reveals who Jesus Christ is and what He has done. In addition to these devotions, this book contains illustrations, which may be used to create a special "Lenten tree." Each of the forty-one days has prayers, a memory verse, questions for children, and hymns or songs to coincide with the symbol for the day. Lenten activities are suggested for families to do together during Lent.

This was ok. I had to edit some on the fly. I don’t intend to use it again as it wasn’t what I was hoping. I think I want something that goes through Jesus’ life, like Jesse Tree does a big sweep of the OT. This book felt too disjointed for what I’m looking for.

Every lent I try and read a religious book for the 40 days.

This books was nice this year in that I didn't have to keep track of how much I was reading, instead it gave me a little passage to read alone with a prayer and bible verses to look up if I wanted to.
It even has a child and adult section for each day (minus all Sunday's except Easter), making it easy for you to read along with a child as well if you had one.


Next year I hope to find another book like this, or maybe I'll just re read this one as I'm sure I will have forgotten some of it by then.

We will definitely be using this for Lenten Worship 2015. Great resource!
