This Is the Mystery of Easter

This Is the Mystery of Easter started with a vision to tell the Easter story better, with an emphasis on love, possibility and hope rather than the substitutionary atonement theology that dominated so much of Christian thought at the time. In response to parent's questions about "how to tell the Easter story," Amelia developed this telling, which became part of Easter services. In 2018, the seed for turning it into a picture book was planted, and she recruited talented illustrator and then co-worker Lily Moore to conspire with her. In keeping with their vision for this book, it was self-published in winter of 2019, and downloadable for free. It's still downloadable for free, or available for purchase anywhere books are sold.
