Bybelklub vir Kinders: Review: A Sense of the Resurrection
Review: A Sense of the Resurrection
I like holidays like Easter and Christmas. I really do. But since my kids were born, I've become all the more aware of the over-commercialised nature of both.
Something that is supposed to be full of awe and wonder, and full of Jesus, is now all about how many chocolate eggs or presents kids can get.
Thankfully Amanda from Oh Amanda had the same feeling and actually acted on it. She has written this amazing resource for Easter. A Sense of the Resurrection is really brilliant! So brilliant in fact that Marijke and I are going to translate it to Afrikaans as well!
In the 12 days leading up to Easter, the book offers tastes, smells, and other senses of the true Easter story. With activities for a variety of ages, and deeper discussion suggestions, this is really a resource all Christian families need. Look past the bunnies, chicks, eggs and chocolate, and look to Jesus, and the reason we celebrate this shocking and blessed time.
All the activities can be made with minimum expense, most things you should have at home, and that which you don't is fairly easy to obtain. The things your kids will make are also not silly toilet paper roll toys that you can toss after a day, they will likely become permanent fixtures in your home and be constant reminders of what our awesome God did when He sent us His only Son to die, a painful, tragic death so that we can live.
There is still time to buy this resource, currently only in English (we should have the Afrikaans one for you by next year) from Oh Amanda. We highly recommend you head of over and buy it now!
Ek geniet feesdae soos Paasfees en Kersfees. Ek doen werklik. Maar sedert my kinders gebore is, raak ek alhoemeer bewus daarvan dat alby dae vreeslik gekommersialiseerd is. Iets wat veronderstel is om vol wonder te wees, vol van Jesus te wees, is nou meer oor hoeveel paaseiers of geskenke kinders kan kry.
Gelukkig het Amanda van Oh Amanda dieselfde gevoel gehad en het iets gedoen daaromtrent. Sy het hierdie fantastiese boek vir Paasfees geskryf. A Sense of the Resurrection is werklik briljant! So briljant, dat ek en Marijke dit gaan vertaal na Afrikaans toe (maar nie hierdie Paasfees nie)!
In die 12 dae voor Paasfees, bied die boek al die reuke, smake en ander sintuie van die egte Paasverhaal. Met aktiwieteite vir alle ouderdomme, en diep gesprek voorstelle, is dit regtig 'n boek wat alle Christen families moet he. Kyk verby die hasies, kuikens, eiers en sjokolade, en kyk na Jesus, en die rede vir hierdie
hartseer en geseende tyd.
Al die aktiwieteite kan met minimum koste gemaak word, meeste van die materiale behoort by die huis te wees, indien nie is hulle maklik verkrygbaar. Die kunsies wat die kinders kan maak is ook oulik en nie toiletrol dinge wat sal stof opgaar nie, inteendeel hulle is instaat en word permanente herrinneringe van ons God en wat Hy gedoen het deur sy enigste Seun te stuur om vir ons te sterf.
Daar is nog tyd om voor Paasfees hierdie boek te koop, tans net in Engels, van Oh Amanda. Ons stel regtig voor julle doen dit!
