A Christ Centered Easter
By, Emily Belle Freeman
Amy's Review
I absolutely loved this book. Emily Belle Freeman, really touches on every aspect of easter to help us believers, non believers and those whose testimony is a little bit wavering on understanding easter. She takes us through the life of christ before the ultimate sacrifice to the days after his resurrection. She gives us scriptures to study and parables that Christ taught through his ministry, and even after his resurrection.
Finally one thing that she talked about was Judas and how he betrayed Christ. Even though he did betray Christ, it was all part of the Story and plan. There was a reason why he was supposed to betray him. Instead of Judging him we need to have faith to help us understand that everything happens for a reason.
"The DIsciples on the road to Emmaus remind us that as we turn to the scriptures our hearts will burn within, we will lead to recognize the Lord, and his Spirit will abide us." - EBF
Even though this book was short in text it brings the sweet spirit of Easter and what it truly means to rejoice in Christ, and look beyond Easter Eggs and parties. I feel that if each of us following the scripture passages, parables and pray to have a testimony of easter then we all can truly rejoice in christ and come to know him just like his disciples did when he was here on the earth.
I highly recommend this book, even though it's about easter its a great book to read year round.
"On Easter Sunday we celebrate the most long awaited and glorious event in the history of the world. It is the day that changed everything. On that day, my life changed. Your life changed. The destiny of all God's Children changed. -Dieter F. Uchtdorf
