Synopses & Reviews
When Jesus died on the cross, it seemed that all had been lost. Death had won. But after three days in a rich man's tomb, Jesus appeared, alive! The news was so shocking that His followers refused to believe it until they saw Him with their own eyes and touched His wounds with their own hands. Then Jesus made an amazing claim: In the future, they too would have resurrected bodies like His, bodies that would never deteriorate, age or perish. They would have new life without death or pain in the presence of a loving God forever. But can we really believe His promise? For that matter, can we really believe that the promise was made by a Man who rose from the dead? In this fascinating look at the claims of the Gospel writers and 2,000 years of believing Christians, bestselling author Josh McDowell and his son Sean examine the compelling evidence and conclude that Jesus Christ conquered death and the gravel in clear, concise and accessible chapters, Josh and Sean present the fact s about the resurrection and what it means for readers today.

Synopsis
You’ve never seen anybody come back to life after being dead for three days. Nobody you know has ever seen anybody come back to life after being dead for three days. But that doesn’t mean it’s never happened. No one debates the fact that a Jewish peasant named Jesus was put to death in Palestine 2,000 years ago, but there’s been plenty of debate ever since about what happened next. Two thousand years of believing Christians have been convinced that even though they (just like you) have never seen anybody come back to life after being dead for three days, that’s exactly what happened: Jesus rose from the grave (but not like in a zombie movie—he was really alive). Now you can see for yourself the evidence that has persuaded hundreds of millions of people for a couple thousand years . . . and you can find out why (if it really happened) Jesus’ resurrection changes everything.
