Hope is a beautiful word. To hope is to look forward to a specific outcome, to wish for a particular ending, to dream about a goal. Hope encourages us, motivates us, gives us purpose and even impacts the course of our lives. But our hopes aren’t always realized. Tragically, they are often dashed against the harsh realities of life, like a storm-tossed ship crashing into jagged rocks.

There is, however, another type of hope that never disappoints. In Scripture, the word hope means more than just a mere desire, need or longing that might go unfulfilled. Biblically defined, hope means “to expect with confidence.” Christian hope, in other words, is the eager anticipation of a guaranteed outcome. This is the hope all believers have through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The Hope of Easter is a powerful book that leads readers into reflection, appreciation and deeper worship of the risen Savior. This 96-page book—theologically rich yet easy to read—is perfect for Christians who want to grow in their faith, folks who want to share the gospel with an unbeliever, or churches that want to give it as a gift on Easter Sunday.
