One reason we celebrate holidays is so we don’t forget the event they mark.  God encouraged His people to remember their deliverance and His saving hand by having festivals and feasts.  The church has continued this practice by setting aside times of the year to remember important events in the history of the church and in our own personal lives.

Books can assist us in the same way.  About 7-8 years ago, my principal brought the book “Vinegar Boy” by Alberta Hawse (1970) to read to us as a staff during the month of April.  “Vinegar Boy” is the story of an orphan boy left under the charge of the Roman garrison in early AD.  Vinegar boy has no name, no parents, and is cursed with a large red birth mark on his face that brings gasps from all who see him.  When he hears of the man from Galilee who heals and restores people, he plans to visit him on Friday, but the sudden announcement of a crucifixion that morning calls him to fulfill his duty as the one who brings vinegar to those being crucified.  What he witnesses and experiences that day will change his life forever.

Our family is halfway into the story and we all love it.  I sometimes see my daughter with a tear in her eye as we read about what Jesus did on the cross for us.  If you are looking for a good book to read personally or with your family as we move into Good Friday and Easter Sunday, order this book and enjoy it.
