The Arch® Book series tells popular Bible stories through fun-to-read rhymes and bright illustrations, published by Concordia Publishing House. This well-loved series captures the attention of children, telling scripturally sound stories that are enjoyable and easy to remember.

In time for the coming season of Lent and Easter, Concordia Publishing House is offering a sale on a nice collection of six favorite Arch Books. Share the stories of Easter with the Best-Loved Easter Stories Arch Book, a 50th anniversary edition that includes six complete Arch Book favorites:

• Jesus Enters Jerusalem
  This book retells the story of Jesus entering Jerusalem on what has become Palm Sunday (Matthew 21:1-11, Mark 11:1-11, Luke 19:28-38, and John 12:12-19).

• The Week That Led to Easter
  This book retells the events of Palm Sunday through Easter day (Matthew 21:1—28:10; Mark 11:1—16-8; Luke 19:29—24:12; John 12:12—20:10).

•  Good Friday
  This book tells the events of Holy Week until Jesus' body was placed in the tomb (Matthew 21:1—27:61, Mark 11:1—15:47, Luke 19:28—23:56, and John 12:12—19:42).

•  Barabbas Goes Free
  This book retells the story of Barabbas, his life and his release by Pilate during Jesus' trial (Matthew 27:15-26, Mark 15:6-15, Luke 23:13-25, and John 18:20).

•  The Resurrection
  A favorite for more than four decades, Arch Books captivate children with colorful pictures and creative poems. Each book presents a complete Bible story in a fun-to-read way children ages 5-9 will understand and remember.

•  My Happy Easter
  This book retells the story of Jesus' burial through the encounter with Mary, Mary Magdalene, and Jesus after his resurrection (Matthew 27:57—28:10).

Let’s take a look at the savings. The regular price for one Arch Book is $2.49. For the impact these books have, that is a good price. If we were to buy one set of these six books individually at regular prices, that would be $14.94. The regular price for this six book collection, however, is $9.99. And, right now, this collection is on sale for $7.99. That is 46.5% off the individual book pricing! Even compared to the usual quantity discount pricing offered by CPH, that is a better deal for quantities in scale for small to medium congregations to give the collection to all their children.

One last thing. While I am not big on knickknack stuff, what CPH is offering with this on orders of $79 or more is actually something spiritually useful, Martin Luther’s Morning Prayer Canvas Print. Check the Free Gift Offer link for information about the item and how to claim it.
