My Review:
For those of you that dont know, Lent lasts for 40 days. Lent by definition is a period of 40 days during which many Christians remember the events leading up to and including the death of Jesus Christ, whose life and teachings are the foundation of Christianity. So even though your denomination or church does not celebrate Lent its still a good idea to practice it because it helps to reflect more on Jesus and all He has done for us.
'Twas the Season of Lent is a great way to introduce your child to this concept. Not something that has to be strictly followed but something that would help draw them closer to Jesus. Its real simple to implement and could get them to ask further questions about Jesus, the Bible and even Christianity.
This book contains 40 devotionals one for each day of Lent. It contains a small summary of scripture, Bible verse, and a short prayer. Really straightforward and to the point and has some illustration included, as well. Really great way to introduce the kiddos to Lent.
**Disclosure**This book was sent to me free of charge for my honest review from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
