Amon's Adventure

Thirteen-year-old Amon enjoys playing with his friends, but he is eager to join his father in the temple court with the other men. Amon sacrifices his childhood and grows up fast when he sets out to defend his father, who has been falsely accused of a crime. Along the way, Amon witnesses the Biblical events of the Easter Story. He sees the Palm Sunday crowds, hears Jesus address the angry mob, is present during Judas’ betrayal, and witnesses Jesus’ death and resurrection. A devotional appears after each of the twenty-eight chapters, consisting of a Bible verse and questions for discussion or reflection. Occasional black-and-white illustrations.
