Easter JourneyPrice $29.99

Step through the gates of Jerusalem and meet the people who knew Jesus: a friendly merchant, the man born blind, His apostles, His mother and Mary Magdalene at the empty tomb. Your family becomes part of the story, answering “We seek Jesus of Nazareth” as you go, and reading one part each day from Palm Sunday to Easter morning. It’s a Holy Week tradition that ends where Easter begins: He is risen.

What’s Inside

  • Eyewitness chapters from Palm Sunday to Easter morning, told by about a dozen people who knew Jesus
  • Call-and-response lines so kids can join in: “We seek Jesus of Nazareth.”
  • An 8-day Easter Journey Advent with discussion questions for each day
  • A seek-and-find of 8 symbols of Christ in the art: cross, Easter lily, oil lamp, dove, fig, pelican, palm leaves and door knocker
  • Scripture from the King James Bible, including John 11:25–26
  • A gentle telling: the crucifixion itself is never shown
  • Rich, full-spread paintings by Kelley Hicken

Perfect for

  • Holy Week, from Palm Sunday to Easter morning
  • An Easter basket that points to Jesus
  • Family nights and quiet Sunday afternoons

FAQ

Questions? We’re here to help.

How does the 8-day advent work?

Start on Palm Sunday. Each day, read one part of the story (a fig symbol behind the page number shows where to stop), then talk through the questions for that day. Saturday has no reading; it’s a day to remember Christ in the tomb. On Easter Sunday you read the last part together.

Is it too intense for young children?

Easter Journey tells the whole Holy Week story, including the arrest and the crucifixion, but it’s told gently through the people who loved Jesus, and the art never shows the crucifixion itself. With younger children, the day-by-day format makes it easy to pause and talk.

Who is it written for?

Families who want Easter to center on Jesus. It follows the Gospel accounts and quotes the King James Bible, and it was written to be shared by Christians of every denomination.

Can we act it out?

Yes. Every speaker is labeled, from the merchant to Mary Magdalene, so it works as a reader’s theater for your family, a class or a church group.

What if we don’t love it?

Send it back unused within 60 days of delivery for a refund, minus return shipping. If anything arrives damaged or defective, we’ll replace or refund it free. Digital downloads, gift cards are final sale, but if a file won’t open, we’ll fix it.

Is this published by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?

No. Nephite Christmas and Easter Journey are independent publications by author Tiffany Wheeler. They are not affiliated with or endorsed by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

About the Story

Shalom! Easter Journey welcomes your family through the gates of Jerusalem as travelers looking for Jesus of Nazareth. A merchant sends you into the city, and one by one you meet the people who knew Him: the man born blind, Matthew and Andrew in the upper room, James and John in Gethsemane, a brave woman in the home of Caiaphas, Mary His mother, and Mary Magdalene at the garden tomb.

Whenever someone asks whom you seek, your family answers together, “We seek Jesus of Nazareth.” Hand out the speaking parts for a reader’s theater, or read one part each day of Holy Week with the built-in advent guide. The journey ends at the empty tomb, with the merchant’s reminder that the Easter story hasn’t ended: “Each of you still has a role in it.”

How it began

Easter Journey began in 2007 as an Easter play at Tiffany’s church. About a thousand people walked through the story the first year, and one 10-year-old said it was even better than Disneyland. Families kept asking for a copy to share at home, so Tiffany and illustrator Kelley Hicken turned it into this book.
