What was the resurrection of Jesus?
Why is Jesus' Resurrection so important?
It was the answer to these questions that led me to this book, If I Could Ask God Anything by Kathryn Slattery. You see, Easter was about a month ago, and I felt it was important that I explain to Brandi that looking for eggs and getting Easter baskets from the Easter Bunny was great, but there was a whole different, more important reason that we celebrate the Holiday. I tried my best to remember all the things I learned in Sunday School as a kid, but I found myself lacking the answers to some of her questions. In fact, I ended up scaring her, because the way I explained it, she was convinced that all people can come back from the dead, and she was terrified to go to sleep that night.
I knew at that point that I needed help. Luckily, I found the answers I was looking for in this book. Not only did the author explain things in kid friendly language, she listed the scriptures to back up her answers. This was a great way for Brandi and I to look up this story in the bible.
I believe this book is geared more towards kids, but I think adults who know nothing about God, or have never been to church, can benefit from it as well. It is laid out nicely, with each chapter focusing on a different topic, and while the answers are simple, they are spot on. At least that is my opinion.
***I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their BookSneeze.com book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
