Celebrating Easter

He Is Risen!

“God loved the world this way: He gave His one and only Son. Anyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.”

—John 3:16

Winter is past and eternal spring has come. Rejoice—the season for singing is here!

For He was pierced for our transgressions and crushed for our iniquities. He bore our grief and carried our sorrows. With His wounds, we are healed. With His death, we are made whole. Jesus, our Savior and everlasting King, breathed life into us through a tree of death.

Be encouraged by the words and stories of Jesus in the books below. Let Him bring new hope, comfort, power, and joy into your life this Lent and Easter.
