Easter is exciting.

We build up to it for weeks. We schedule family gatherings around it. We dress up for it. We celebrate Easter because it signals new life, new hope. In this little book, you'll find the source of that new life, Jesus, extending to us the hope of Easter. You'll see that on the far side of Easter is a freedom that exceeds our expectations. And you'll discover that the source of that freedom is an act of extreme forgiveness that has the power to change everything.
