Pastor's Current Book Club Selection:

The Christ of the Empty Tomb

by James Montgomery Boice

About the Book:

The message of Easter is more in the background than that of Christmas. After all, this is not the joyous welcoming of a baby but the brutal death of a young man, stripped of dignity. Yet, Jews had prayed for him, hoped for him, looked for him and lived for him for generations. But now the one who said he was Messiah was dead, killed by the very ones who had for so long anticipated his coming. How could this have happened? His disciples had spent three years following him and they were in despair - but then they found the empty tomb! The Messiah was alive! James Boice, one of the church's master communicators, explains the drama, purpose and events surrounding the resurrection. It becomes an occasion of spiritual joy as our thought are focused on the real reason for celebration: our justification and deliverance.
