Preparing My Heart for Easter

by Ann Marie Stewart

This Easter season, examine the lives of women who intersected the life of Jesus.  PREPARE YOUR HEART for EASTER!      Celebrating the birth of Christ involves many meaningful traditions, but what about the holy day of Easter? By taking time to examine the footsteps of Jesus, focus on His teaching, and watch His words in action, Preparing My Heart for Easter is a celebration of Christ's amazing love in the form of an eight-week Bible Study for women. Each week of the study consists of five daily studies and two weekend devotionals.    Although the Easter story is filled with men, both named and unnamed women played import roles. Preparing My Heart for Easter focuses on these women who followed Jesus during His life and death. Women like Mary Magdalene, Mary Mother of Jesus, and Mary and Martha (the sisters of Lazarus), as well as the woman at the will and others. By focusing on the life and death of Jesus and the lives of the women who were eyewitnesses of his miraculous ministry on earth, readers will learn how Jesus changed the future for all women.    Each weekend of the study offers you a chance to read about Easter hymns that will enrich your Sunday praise. You'll also learn the significance of Palm Sunday, The Lord's Supper. Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter, Ascension, and Pentecost. Dedicate this Lenten season to prepare your heart for Easter, and watch Jesus transform your life through His gentle touch.

About the author

Ann Marie Stewart writes fiction about real families with real problems. Her books are ultimately READ-eemable--rewarding stories worth a reader's time.

Raised in Seattle, WA, a blind date on the east coast meant a move to the other Washington and ultimately living in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

When she's not writing, she's waterskiing, watching UVA basketball, thrift shopping with her two twenty-something daughters, or hanging out with her husband and a whole flock of fuzzy sheep on Skye Moor Farm, in Virginia--where unscripted drama provides plenty of entertaining material!

This is the absolute, hands down, BEST Easter study I’ve ever completed. The research completed for the study and attention to detail is so helpful in discovering more about Christ. I couldn’t recommend this enough!!! Each year I intend on completing it again.
