Marty Machowski’s Darkest Night Brightest Day shows families how Easter morning turned the world upside down and right side up. 

Start a new Easter season tradition with your family by reading this beautifully illustrated “upside down” book that includes fourteen Bible stories for Passion and Easter weeks. Begin on Palm Sunday with the first side, Darkest Night, which has seven stories that recount the events of Passion week, ending with Christ’s crucifixion and burial. Flip the book over on Easter morning and continue by reading Brightest Day, featuring seven more stories that progress from Christ’s resurrection to his ascension and Pentecost.  

Machowski weaves the four Gospel accounts together into one harmonized story and provides questions for family discussion. Children are sure to remember the contrast between the darkness at the death of our Lord and the light-filled events from Christ’s resurrection onward.  

·       This beautiful hardback book, illustrated by Phil Schorr, is sure to become a treasuredfamily favorite to be used every Easter. 

·       Designed for families to read one story each day for two weeks, beginning Palm Sunday. 

·       Targeted to families with preschool and grade school children but can used in family devotionals with teens as well. 


Westminster Bookstore Note: This book contains cartoon or artistic images of Jesus. There are many people in our constituency who, in a sincere effort to honor the second commandment, refrain from the use of any kind of drawings or pictures of Jesus, even if not intended for a worship context. Out of respect for those who take this position, we have sought to add a note to books in our children’s category which have drawings or depictions of Jesus so that they can factor that into their buying decisions, as they would if they could inspect the books physically.

Marty Machowski is a Family Pastor and an author of gospel-rich books and curriculum for children, families, and churches. He is also a devoted husband and father. Besides being an accomplished artist, inventor, and outdoorsman, he enjoys spending time with his wife and kids. However, his greatest passion is his love for the Lord Jesus Christ and sharing the life-transforming gospel message with the next generation.
