“I loved this devotional! The way Vanessa invites families to ‘wonder’ and ask questions makes it feel like you’re actually traveling through the stories together. It’s easy to understand and fun for all ages, and your kids will love questions like ‘Were Peter and John good cooks?’ or ‘Did someone give Jesus a hug?’ It’s such a creative and meaningful way for families to explore Jerusalem and grow in faith during the Lent season.”

“This family devotional will cultivate your kid’s curiosity and engage their hearts with the truth about Jesus and the Biblical events leading up to Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection. As a mom of 4, I believe Wondering to Jerusalem is a fantastic resource for parents wanting to intentionally prepare their children’s hearts for Easter and focus on Jesus during the Lent season.”

“Wondering to Jerusalem invites kids to do more than read—it invites them to wonder, imagine, draw, and pray as they walk with Jesus toward Easter. Vanessa Myers has created an interactive devotional that helps families experience Lent together with joy and curiosity.”
— Kim Botto
Author of Boundless Hope for Every Child and Children’s Pastor
“Vanessa Myers has written a Lenten devotion that allows us to wonder and wander through the streets of Jerusalem, becoming one of the children who curled up into His lap, sang ‘Hosanna,’ cried when parents told their children that He had died, and shouted ‘Hallelujah’ at His resurrection. Vanessa doesn’t shy away from the realities of the cross, nor does she shy away from the hard questions. Instead, she invites all of us to become like little children – to follow Jesus as a child of wonder. Vanessa draws us close to Jesus through questions, but also, by allowing us to stop and see everything and everyone around Jesus, to experience His miracles and ultimately His love. I invite all of you on this journey. Let us go Wondering to Jerusalem together so that united in Christ your children and you may experience fully the resurrection on Easter Sunday!”
