Synopsis

Meet the unlikely people who witnessed history's greatest event.

At Easter, the Son of God took on the world's sin and defeated the devil, death, and grave. How is it, then, that history's most glorious moment is surrounded by fearful fishermen, despised tax collectors, marginalized women, feeble politicians, and traitorous friends?

In The Characters of Easter, you'll become acquainted with the unlikely collection of ordinary people who witnessed the miracle of Christ's death and resurrection. Enter their stories and ultimately draw closer to Christ Himself as you encounter His Passion through their experiences. Take a journey back to first-century Palestine and walk in the shoes of legendary people like Simon Peter, Judas, Pilate, John, Mary Magdalene and others.

This book provides a fresh approach to the Lenten season and can be used as a devotional or study for both individuals and groups. Once you've learned about the characters of Easter, meet those who witnessed the birth of Christ in the companion title The Characters of Christmas.<br/>

From the Back Cover

A New Look at the Ancient Story of Creation.

Most Christians are familiar with the opening words of Genesis: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." But push beyond those iconic words, and sometimes the details get a little hazy. And strange. God walked around in a garden? Eve was made from Adam's rib? A talking serpent? And what the in the world were the "Nephilim"? In The Characters of Creation, Daniel Darling reintroduces readers to the story they thought they knew. He explains the Bible's story of how we got here and how things got messed up, and gives fresh insights into the first people in God's unfolding plan of redemption.

You'll read about:

• Adam & Eve
• Satan
• Cain & Abel
• Seth, Enoch & Lamech
• The Nephilim
• Noah
• Shem, Ham & Japheth
