Today, I am excited to introduce you to my favorite read-aloud for Lent and Easter.
Amon’s Adventure is a wonderful adventure story that will leave your kids begging for just one more chapter.
Amon is a 13 year-old boy during the time of Christ’s persecution, and in this fictional tale, his father has been accused of a terrible crime. It’s up to Amon to navigate the tension in his local community and clear his father’s name.
If you want to breathe some life into your family’s experience of Lent and Easter… this story is a great way to do just that. I highly recommend it as a family read-aloud for kids 8+.
It’s intense, so I suggest previewing each chapter if you’re reading it aloud to kids younger than that.
The author, Arnold Ytreeide, is visiting with me today on the newest episode of the Read-Aloud Revival, and learning more about where this book came for was such a delight!
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Where this book (and those in his Jotham’s Journey series) came from
- Ideas for how best to use this book during Lent
- How (and why) he tells a story we all know… in a brand new way
