This week hosts Sarah Humphrey and Mike Nawrocki welcome back Glenys Nellist to talk about her latest book Twas the Season of Lent.

'Twas the Season of Lent is a 40-day devotional and storybook that explores the life, words, and works of Jesus and encourages families to draw closer to God during the Lenten Season. From beloved author Glenys Nellist, this book focused on Jesus's mission to the least, the lost, and the lonely, with each story and accompanying prayer prompt encouraging children to try to be more like Jesus and to do what God calls them to.

Written in both prose and poetry, this gorgeous picture book shares the true story of the days leading up to Christ's death and resurrection. The read-aloud rhymes and stunning illustrations by Elena Selivanova make this a perfect read for the whole family during the Lenten season. With an eye-catching cover decorated in shining foil and embossing, this book is designed to be a treasured tradition for families and church ministries for the Lenten season for years to come.

'Twas the season of Lent, when for forty whole days

God's people were trying to think of new ways

To be more like Jesus—to love, care, and give,

In hopes that they'd choose the right way to live.
