One of the most influential and powerful figures in history is Jesus Christ. After his tragic and horrific death, evidence proves that He rose from the dead and appeared to people, individuals, small groups and great crowds for a period of 40 days.This fictional book, based on true and historic facts and testimony, recreates those 40 days through the eyes and impressions of John, a disciple and follower of Jesus. John was highly respected in the early years of Christianity. He authored one of the Gospels that detailed the life of Jesus. He also wrote three letters to early churches, as well as the apocalyptic work in scripture, The Book of the Revelations.John writes in the last of his Gospel, "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which, if they were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that would be written."At the time of Jesus Christ's death, his followers were traumatically affected. Many had hoped that He was the promised Messiah, the Savior, the coming King of Israel, and the Chosen One. Upon His death, all hope was gone.John, an early disciple of Jesus, was an eyewitness for many miracles and healings, as well as many of the teaching venues where Jesus was said to "teach as one having authority." He was also one of the first to meet the resurrected Christ."40 Days Between", is a daily account of the interactions between Jesus and those who were encouraged with hope and optimism during his post-resurrection. There are eleven specific recorded appearances of Jesus listed in Holy Scripture. This book will narratively illustrate these appearances. However, this book will fictionally create additional appearances and encounters with those whose lives Jesus touched.This book will be an encouragement to those who struggle with the burdens of life. It will communicate hope, confidence, optimism and expectation. Its stories will remind the reader of a compassionate motivation to love God and to love their fellow man. Its relevance is to the pre-Christian, searching for hope. Its relevance is to the Christian, providing encouragement and motivation to "know Him and the power of His resurrection. Its relevance is to the post-Christian, renewing the inspiration of a Jesus who died and rose again.The thematic thread throughout the book will illustrate the power of the resurrection and principles of God's Kingdom: Loving God with all one's heart, loving others, hope, faith, serving others, giving to those in need, being moved with compassion, patience in suffering, sacrifice and other relevant themes.
This classic resource from Eugene H. Peterson offers an indepth survey of the resurrection texts of the Gospels, helping churches to move from Easter into a transformative life as individuals and as a community.
The Appearances of the Risen Christ by Arthur X. Deegan ll, PhD Pdf
The author discusses in detail each of the recorded appearances of Jesus to his followers after his Resurrection, based on the text of the New Testament. He also argues for a special appearance to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus. The intent is to help see, in these passages, what the reader never saw before. Each appearance is followed by a conversation with Jesus in the belief that there is no better way to develop a deeper personal relationship with anyone than by intense one-on-one personal conversations.
The heartbreaking events of Good Friday did not signal the end of Jesus Christ’s ministry to His disciples—far from it. His resurrection on Easter morning was the beginning of a unique and significant time in His ministry on earth. For the next forty days, until His glorious ascension to heaven, Jesus appeared many times to His followers. During this remarkable period, He taught them about the kingdom of God and explained the requirements of discipleship, His own divine nature, and the power they would soon receive to expand the kingdom of God “into all the world” (Mark 16:15). Today, we can experience that same power to accomplish God’s work. Those forty days were a link between heaven and earth that is a pattern for us. As we walk with the resurrected Christ, we discover how to reproduce His life in our own experience, and we gain a new sense of His glorious reality and continual presence with us day by day. Just before His ascension, Jesus promised to be with us “all the days,” even to the end of the age. Relive those forty days with Christ, following the risen Lord to a higher place of spiritual life and victory.

Written by an L. A. County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From one of the world’s most influential spiritual thinkers, a long-awaited book exploring what it means that Jesus was called “Christ,” and how this forgotten truth can restore hope and meaning to our lives. “Anyone who strives to put their faith into action will find encouragement and inspiration in the pages of this book.”—Melinda Gates In his decades as a globally recognized teacher, Richard Rohr has helped millions realize what is at stake in matters of faith and spirituality. Yet Rohr has never written on the most perennially talked about topic in Christianity: Jesus. Most know who Jesus was, but who was Christ? Is the word simply Jesus’s last name? Too often, Rohr writes, our understandings have been limited by culture, religious debate, and the human tendency to put ourselves at the center. Drawing on scripture, history, and spiritual practice, Rohr articulates a transformative view of Jesus Christ as a portrait of God’s constant, unfolding work in the world. “God loves things by becoming them,” he writes, and Jesus’s life was meant to declare that humanity has never been separate from God—except by its own negative choice. When we recover this fundamental truth, faith becomes less about proving Jesus was God, and more about learning to recognize the Creator’s presence all around us, and in everyone we meet. Thought-provoking, practical, and full of deep hope and vision, The Universal Christ is a landmark book from one of our most beloved spiritual writers, and an invitation to contemplate how God liberates and loves all that is.
Gospelbound by Collin Hansen,Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra Pdf
A profound exploration of how to hold on to hope when our unchanging faith collides with a changing culture, from two respected Christian storytellers and thought leaders. “Offers neither spin control nor image maintenance for the evangelical tribe, but genuine hope.”—Russell Moore, president of ERLC As the pressures of health warnings, economic turmoil, and partisan politics continue to rise, the influence of gospel-focused Christians seems to be waning. In the public square and popular opinion, we are losing our voice right when it’s needed most for Christ’s glory and the common good. But there’s another story unfolding too—if you know where to look. In Gospelbound, Collin Hansen and Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra counter these growing fears with a robust message of resolute hope for anyone hungry for good news. Join them in exploring profound stories of Christians who are quietly changing the world in the name of Jesus—from the wild world of digital media to the stories of ancient saints and unsung contemporary activists on the frontiers of justice and mercy. Discover how, in these dark times, the light of Jesus shines even brighter. You haven’t heard the whole story. And that’s good news.
