We proclaim the joy of Christ’s Resurrection on Easter Day, as we experience God’s grace, mercy, and love. But what if we allowed ourselves more time to celebrate the fullness of the Resurrection and its meaning in our own lives?
Author Scott Gunn offers meditations for each of the fifty days of the Easter season that draw us deeply into the mystery and wonder of the empty tomb. His reflections ask us to consider the critical how does the triumph of love and life over evil and death change our lives?

This is a good book to read as a follow-up to a Lenten discipline. It was written by Scott Gunn of Forward Day By Day. He combines the lyrics of hymns, writings by religious philosophers, and Bible readings as inspiration for the daily meditations.
Lenten readings are always a blessing columinating in the sombre of Good Friday and then the joy of Easter Sunday. I have always felt a little let down once the 'season' had closed. Thank goodness we now have a book that leads us through to the Ascension of Jesus and Pentecost, the coming of the promised Holy Spirit. Brilliant.
