In today’s society, a lot of families think Easter is more about rabbits and chocolate, rather than the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Then Champ Thornton wants to inspire children – and their parents – with fascinating Bible facts, biographies of great Christians, humor, trivia, and more! He believes kids need to integrate their faith with the “real world” all around them and learn how to discern between godly truth and cultural perspectives.
