Fifty Days of Resurrection (paperback)

Easter is more than a day. It’s a season. For fifty days—from Easter to Pentecost—the early church lived in the shock, mystery, and power of the resurrection. This book helps you enter that same journey. Each day features a resurrection passage from the New Testament, paired with a short devotional reflection and clear, insightful explanation of the text. Sundays highlight the Easter morning stories from the four Gospels, allowing you to revisit the empty tomb again and again. If you’ve ever wondered what it really means to say that Jesus is risen, this book will help you slow down, reflect, and see the resurrection with fresh eyes.
