Book Overview
ECPA Easter Bestseller 2024
How can we help children approach Lent in a way that is meaningful, with generosity, helping others, and "making room" for Jesus? Make Room presents Lent as a special time for creating a welcoming space for God. Make Room uniquely connects activities for Lent to the story of Jesus. Simple and practical tasks such as baking bread, having a neighbor over for dinner, un-cluttering a room, and watching less TV become acts of justice and kindness, part of a life of following and imitating Christ, and a way to make room for God in our lives and in the world around us. While some books tell the Passion narrative for young readers, this unique book integrates themes of hospitality and self-giving that echo Jesus' ministry, Jesus' entire life. Make Room invites children to wonder about the story, to encounter Lent with all their senses, and to experience activities in Lent as part of a life of discipleship. Laura Alary writes in the warm, thoughtful style that has made her books so popular with families who want to encourage their children to think deeply and engage their spiritual imaginations, Make Room is the second book in the "Circle of Wonder: Liturgical Year Resource Set."
