Jesus Himself

by Marcus L. Loane

In the Foreword of this book Sir Marcus Loane writes, The wonder and glory of the Resurrection are far greater than we can ever conceive. That great drama took place in the silent tomb a great while before it was yet day. No one else was there when God raised Jesus from the no one saw it happen . . . All that was mortal had put on death was swallowed up in victory. And it was in his risen glory that he made himself known to his disciples . . .
The chapters that follow are part of a well-loved and life-long pilgrimage for the author. The Resurrection story they recount comes across with a freshness and loveliness that is full of heart-warming fascination.

[Aled Goodwin · Rating 5 out of 5]

A book that helps you slow down to dwell on the resurrection of Jesus and each of his encounters before his ascension. Particularly helpful to read over the Easter period.
It showed me Jesus and warmed my heart.

[Matthew Prydden · Rating 4 out of 5]

A deliberately slow and thoughtful walk through the narrative of Jesus' resurrection. Marcus Loane really enables you to slow down to consider and take in each scene and see the resurrection story clearly and wonderfully. A book I will probably come back to again and again.

[Miles Smith · Rating 4 out of 5]

A short work on Easter and its aftermath from the mid 20th Cent Anglican Archbishop of Sydney. Its not a work that is going to remake the wheel, but the two chapters on St Thomas move me tremendously.

[Justin Jackson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Loane's work on the resurrection is a great devotional read to remind oneself of the majesty and profound glory that Christ is risen. The book is a collection of homilies, and was not written to be an exegetical work. I would recommend this book to any church member who wanted a quick read that would effectively warm up one's heart for worship during the Passion season. Loane's work is written with simple language, and yet in his simplicity he reminds readers that some of the most simple truths, like the truth of the Resurrection, are the most profound and awe-inspiring. Good short read. Accessible for anyone.
