How can one weekend change everything for everyone? Mike Hood doesn’t just show you how; he shows you why—and the profound difference Easter makes. This book will give you solid reasons not only to believe in the resurrection of Jesus but, even more, to love it.”

Ted Turnau - Author of Popologetics: Popular Culture in Christian Perspective

I highly recommend this helpful and inviting book. Mike Hood covers not only why believing in the resurrection is rational but also why it’s beautiful—why it makes life worth living. His language is accessible, readable and sympathetic, but never simplistic or patronizing. He draws on plenty of real-life examples of people who have wrestled with belief in the resurrection. I would recommend this book both to those who already believe (but need to remember why it matters) and to those seeking answers to the big questions.

Linda Allcock - Author, Deeper Still

This book combines a compelling, concise demonstration of the evidence for the resurrection with a unique emphasis on the relationship Christians have with the living God and with one another. A stunning combination! This book will be my go-to giveaway. It’s short, warm and convincing.
