Book Description
Did Jesus rise from the dead? Is resurrection even possible? There are numerous historical and philosophical challenges to belief in Jesus' resurrection. For many, these questions are insurmountable. Raised on the Third Day approaches these questions with critical and believing eyes. Edited by W. David Beck and Michael R. Licona, Raised on the Third Day collects essays from prominent contributors in the fields of philosophy, history, and apologetics. Contributors--including J. P. Moreland, William Lane Craig, Craig A. Evans, Beth M. Sheppard, and Sean McDowell--evaluate scriptural, historical, moral, and apologetic issues related to Christ's death and resurrection. Essays on the Shroud of Turin and near-death experiences round out the volume. Inspired by the foundational work of Gary Habermas--arguably the greatest contemporary Christian thinker on the resurrection--these essays build upon his work and move the discussion forward. Readers will better appreciate how Habermas has shaped scholarship on Christ's resurrection and further areas for exploration and discussion.

Book Description
A profound exploration of how to hold on to hope when our unchanging faith collides with a changing culture, from two respected Christian storytellers and thought leaders. “Offers neither spin control nor image maintenance for the evangelical tribe, but genuine hope.”—Russell Moore, president of ERLC As the pressures of health warnings, economic turmoil, and partisan politics continue to rise, the influence of gospel-focused Christians seems to be waning. In the public square and popular opinion, we are losing our voice right when it’s needed most for Christ’s glory and the common good. But there’s another story unfolding too—if you know where to look. In Gospelbound, Collin Hansen and Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra counter these growing fears with a robust message of resolute hope for anyone hungry for good news. Join them in exploring profound stories of Christians who are quietly changing the world in the name of Jesus—from the wild world of digital media to the stories of ancient saints and unsung contemporary activists on the frontiers of justice and mercy. Discover how, in these dark times, the light of Jesus shines even brighter. You haven’t heard the whole story. And that’s good news.

Book Description
IntroductionThis small book is dedicated to the Resurrection of Jesus from the dead. Alleluia! The Lord has truly risen! This book is divided into two parts. The first part is made up of many meditations, while the second part is a collection of Icons and paintings of various artist depiction of the Resurrection and Ascension of Christ. The first part can be used for quiet prayer and mediation, while the second part can be used as a pictorial reflection on the resurrection as well. Using both can be helpful and provide different ways to meditate on the Mystery of Christ Resurrection. My hope us that each of them will bring you closer to your love of Jesus Christ and the Mystery of his life.Mary, stood outside the tomb Weeping Mary stood outside the tomb weeping. We do not know how long Mary stood there, but we do know that she had something inside her that many of us long to have. Mary longed to be with the Lord. The scriptures tell us that "he will wipe away every tear from our eyes." This is literally what Jesus did when he appeared to Mary Magdalen. Jesus knows that our hearts are "restless until they rest in" Him. This restlessness faith often creates anxiety inout minds and hearts. St. Peter tells us to "cast all our burdens on him for he cares for us." This may be the same thing that the disciples talked about in those days after Jesus was buried and before he appeared again. They sensed deep in their souls the need for continued prayer, the need to share with one another, the need to strengthen one another. There is no doubt that the Mother of Jesus was with the other disciples and she was sharing her faith with them. It was during this time of Holy Saturday that the strength of the disciples faith was solidified. They came to realize exactly what they truly believed and what they had not taken to heart. I believe that Mary Magdalen had taken Jesus words to heart and this is the reason she was crying. She neither knew where Jesus was, nor where those who had taken Jesus was taken to. Mary Magdalen had all the reason to worry. She even told Jesus, when he first appeared to her (she didn't recognize Jesus at first), that she was crying because someone had taken Jesus and they didm't know where they and placed his body. It was at this point that Jesus called Mary's name, "Mary." And immediately, she knew it was "Rabboni", the teacher. We, too, while we are waiting for the Master outside the times of our own lives are approached by the same Lord of Life and Love. We are "weeping" in this valley of tears, and we know that there is a better place we belong. Jesus comes to us to console us in the power of his Spirit. He speaks our names and we are consoled again, we regain our hope and we know that "Rabboni," is present to us. At those intimate moments we have no courage to ask him "anymore questions." We know he is the answer to them all.

Book Description
Just as Christ was raised from the dead on the third day, a powerful supernatural event is about to occur on the earth. From an obscure Old Testament prophecy comes the shocking prediction of an explosion of heavenly power that will bring healing and revival in a time period identified as the Third Day. Dr. Donald A. Moss takes you on a whirlwind journey into the realm of prophetic revelation to witness the coming in of an exciting, new spiritual order on the earth. You'll discover: * The "proceeding" Word of God * Why modern-day Apostles will soon appear * Why "celebrity" ministries will fade away * How 3 terrible "enemies" will soon arise from within the modern Church (you'll be given a psychospiritual profile of each enemy that will pinpoint who they are) * What is about to happen in the coming worldwide economic crisis and why it will actually aid the revival of the Third Day. * How a new order of unity will bring people of all races and backgrounds together * How you can live a "supernatural" lifestyle in the coming days "The Third Day presents intelligent evidence that a Divine flashpoint is drawing near. From the biblical perspective, a day is as a thousand years. Two thousand years or two days of grace have elapsed since the death and resurrection of Jesus. The third day or the third one thousand year period from the time of Christ will be a time of finishing grace when the Spirit of the Lord is poured out upon all flesh. It will be as the lightning comes out of the east and shines into the west to prepare believers for the coming of Christ in the clouds. The modern Church must shake the dust of its former understandings and acknowledge this awesome possibility." -Dr. Donald A. Moss

Book Description
The New Testament writings allow only limited access to the interpretative traditions that lie beneath the claim that Jesus' resurrection took place according to Scripture. This book investigates the underlying principles of scriptural arguments in relation to Jesus' resurrection and the unstated interpretative moves that govern the selection and combination of texts relating to it. Novakovic's working hypothesis is that the Davidic tradition supplied the primary scriptural categories for the claim that Jesus was raised from the dead according to Scripture. This tradition was appropriated through two major thematic trajectories: resurrection as the fulfillment of Davidic promises and resurrection as the messianic enthronement. We can also identify several related thematic trajectories, such as the concept of the resurrection as the beginning of the new creation, resurrection as the prophetic authentication, and resurrection as the messianic rebuilding of the temple. Each thematic block is based on a specific use of Scripture for the purpose of explaining the significance of Jesus' resurrection.

Book Description
The Resurrection of Jesus is one of the central beliefs of the Christian faith. This belief and teaching cut across all the Christian denominations. Hence, Paul teaches that if Christ had not risen from the dead, then we would have been the most foolish of all religious groups. But the fact that He, Christ, died and came back to life gives us the opportunity to glory in the resurrected Christ. The book, The Power of the Resurrection, is centered on the resurrection of Jesus, and the meaning that this resurrection has for us as individual Christians, who believe in the risen Lord. It is not a theological work aimed at defining the resurrection, nor is it a historical work aimed at tracing or verifying the veracity the resurrection. No. It is rather a faith lifting book on the basis of the resurrection story as we have it in the Christian bible. Just as Jesus rose from the dead in the midst of all the opposing tides, so shall those who trust in him rise above all opposing tides in their life. Jesus could not be stopped, so also by the grace of Him who rose from the dead; nothing is going to stop your upliftment and manifestation also. The resurrection shall be your experience in your daily life and at the end of time, he who raised Jesus from the dead shall give life to your own mortal body too. This is the argument of the book. Jesus, the son of God, came into the world for the love of humanity. His teachings were misunderstood, and so through the journey to Calvary, he was crucified and died on the cross on Calvary. Yes he died. The chief priests and the scribes and the Pharisees, in conjunction with Pilate, conspired against him. He was sentenced to death. He accepted the death willingly and lovingly. He died that we might be saved. Hence, his death brought salvation to the world. However, before he died, he promised the resurrection. He did not hide the fact of the resurrection. Openly he said, the son of man shall be delivered into the hand of sinners, he shall be put to death, but on the third day, he will rise again. In another place, he said, destroy this temple, and in three days, I shall raise it up, and there was misunderstanding again. The people thought he was referring to the physical temple, but from scripture, we know he was referring to his body rising from the dead. Thus he did spoke about the resurrection quite clearly. This is where this book hinges its weight. Because he promised the resurrection, after the execution, the chief priests and the soldiers, knowing what he was capable of doing, asked the permission of Pilate for the grave to be guarded till the third day. This is because he said on the third day, "I will rise again". They knew that it could happen. They said: this man who gave sight to the blind, who raised the dead (Lazarus and also Jairus' Daughter), who cleansed lepers, who casts out devils; this same man said on the third day I will rise again. And they concluded: if he should "rise again" from the dead, then it will be worse for us. Hence, they received the permission to guard the grave, to prevent any rising from the dead. Humanly speaking therefore, the resurrection would not have been possible. This is because they did everything to prevent it. They put a very big stone to wedge the entrance, hence no coming out and no going in. More so, they stayed on guard with weapons to prevent any fraudulent act. They were prepared to kill again even if he should try to come out of the grave; that is, if he was able to overcome the wedging stone. Therefore, from the human point of view, it was impossible. By their calculation, they have overcome, they have conquered, and they have become victorious. But one thing they failed to understand was the statement of the Angel, which Jesus himself repeated to the apostles; that for men, it may be impossible, but not for God, because, for God, there is no impossibility. And so when the appo
