Why Easter?
Prepare for your guests this Easter with a wonderful evangelistic booklet by Nicky Gumbel. Like Gumbel's Why Jesus?, this booklet is a concise and easy-to-read study of the very real questions surrounding Jesus that people might be thinking about at
Who is Jesus?
Why do we need him?
Why did he have to die?
Why does he matter to my life today?
With hearts particularly open in the Easter season, these booklets are an effective evangelistic tool to pass out to guests at your services, sharing the Gospel in a warm and relevant way.
Alpha is based on a pattern found in the New Testament of people bringing their friends, family, and work colleagues to meet Jesus. Alpha is an easy way to say to friends, Come and see, come and explore your questions, come and hear about Jesus, come and see for yourself. Everyone is welcome at Alpha, but the program is designed especially for people who would not describe themselves as Christians or church-goers.

Read this one at church on Easter while I was waiting for the third service. It succeeds in offering the crucial facts about who Jesus is and why following and believing in him is a life-changing, wonderful and valid thing for those who choose it. As I have said before about Nicky Gumbel, I love his straightforward, yet thoughtful way of presenting the Gospel and tackling the tough questions that come from people who live in the modern world as to why a man who lived and died and rose again 2000 years ago would affect their lives. People want the truth, and you don't and shouldn't fudge the truth about Jesus. He is the truth.
Short and sweet and very helpful to read. Great for someone who is investigating the faith, a new believer, or a veteran believer to remind herself what she believes.
