The ‘E’ Book is bursting with fun activities, ideas, Bible readings and prayers to enable even the busiest families to celebrate the Christian faith together at home. The book can also be used on family outings and holidays and the activities require the minimal amount of preparation.

The language used throughout the book is deliberately simple and direct, so that older children can read the suggestions and lead some of the activities. This fun-packed book is ideal to help families discover some of the real 'Essentials’ of the Christian life.

Events, people, organizations and festivals of the Christian year featured in the book include: Christmas, Candlemas, Pancake Day, Mothering Sunday, Holy Week, Christian Aid, Pentecost, St Aidan, St Francis and Fireworks.

‘This book provides fresh and realistic activities with a sense of history. I'll certainly be trying them with my own children.’ Jayne Hall, Editor, Together with Children
