That Holy Week So Long Ago
Book •
Matthew Boswell's book presents Holy Week in accessible, rhythmic poetry for children and families, explaining each day's significance from betrayal to resurrection.
Drawing on his hymn-writing experience, Boswell uses meter and memorable lines to help readers internalize theological truths and biblical events.
The book does not shy away from the darker moments of the passion narrative, instead using contrast to make the resurrection's joy more vivid for young readers.
It aims to be both a teaching tool for children and a reminder for parents, fostering understanding and memory through rhyme.
Framed for family reading, the book connects first-century Jerusalem events to present-day faith practice.
