Lee Strobel’s book ‘The Case for Easter

is a great read for this Easter time.

Atheist-turned-Christian Lee Strobel, the former award-winning legal editor of The Chicago Tribune, is a New York Times best-selling author of nearly twenty books. Lee  has investigated the evidence for the resurrection.

Did Jesus of Nazareth really rise from the dead?

Of the many world religions, only one claims that its founder returned from the grave. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the very cornerstone of Christianity.

But a dead man coming back to life? In our sophisticated age, when myth has given way to science, who can take such a claim seriously? Some argue that Jesus never died on the cross. Conflicting accounts make the empty tomb seem suspect. And post-crucifixion sightings of Jesus have been explained in psychological terms.

How credible is the evidence for-and against-the resurrection? Focusing his award-winning skills as a legal journalist on history’s most compelling enigma, Lee Strobel retraces the startling findings that led him from atheism to belief. Drawing on expert testimony first shared in his blockbuster book The Case for Christ, Strobel examines:

The Medical Evidence-Was Jesus’ death a sham and his resurrection a hoax?

The Evidence of the Missing Body-Was Jesus’ body really absent from his tomb?

The Evidence of Appearances-Was Jesus seen alive after his death on the cross?

Written in a hard-hitting journalistic style, The Case for Easter probes the core issues of the resurrection. Jesus Christ, risen from the dead: superstitious myth or life-changing reality? The evidence is in. The verdict is up to you.

Why not read it this Easter?

With all the talk of new supermarkets in the west and south of the city it has reminded us that people need and want access to necessities. At one time every corner had a small shop now larger stores are popular however supermarkets are increasingly returning to smaller stores. Even petrol stations with a small “supermarket” are more and more common.

In 2010 with great need for the good news of Jesus Christ in our land, how much do we need a church on every corner and a Christian influence for good in every community. Lets pray that the same Lord Jesus who said “I will build my church” in Matthew chapter 16 will continue to build His church in Carlisle and beyond.
