5.0 out of 5 stars I was moved to tears., June 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The First Easter (Hardcover)

This book is a well written, and moving account of the final week of Jesus. You feel as though you are walking along with Him during that time. You can feel the pain, rejection, and triumph of the crucifixion and resurrection. This is a life changing book. I was literally moved to tears the first time that I read this book.

This review is from: The First Easter (Hardcover)

I first read "The First Easter", by Peter Marshall, over 25 years ago. It now is a permanent part of my "favorite books" shelf, and I buy used copies quite often to give as gifts to family, friends, and church libraries. Soon after starting the book, I was caught up in the lives and times of Jesus and His Disciples, and felt as though I was a bystander as the final week of Jesus' life before His crucifixion played out in front of my eyes. When Mary cried at the tomb, I cried with her, and when she saw Jesus, her joy was so real, that I felt like I was right there with her, seeing Him and believing that He was raised from the dead, just as He had promised. Easy reading, can be completed in a few hours, but leaves a lasting feeling of having been there.
