This Easter, Bible Society is giving away 85,000 copies of The Seriously Surprising Story, a new booklet in their popular children’s series.
The story draws children into the biblical story of Easter as they walk in the footsteps of Jesus’ followers on the road to Emmaus.
Children’s author Joy Cowley described The Seriously Surprising story as ‘a lovely little book. It’s warm, it’s happy, it’s the Good News!’
‘The positive message with the rhythmic text and lively illustrations, make it a perfect book for young children. It’s also good news for the child in adults like me,’ she said.
The Seriously Surprising Story is available online (www.surprisingstory.nz). Individuals can order up to five hard copies at a time and parishes can order up to 200 copies for their Easter activities. Copies are also available at some Salvation Army Family Stores.
