From September 11, 2001 to the war in Iraq, from hurricanes to firestorms, death has become a televised and troubling reality for Americans in the 20th and 21st centuries. In our families, we see death on a more personal scale. It can be a struggle to find hope and healing when someone you love dies.
Take Away The Stone leads the reader on a journey to grasp the enormous power of the life Jesus brings. It explores the life Jesus promises to all who trust in him. We can face death with peace, hope, and even joy!
“Jesus is the great Rescuer of humanity. He reaches out to those drowning in sin with His gracious forgiveness. To those living in the fear of death, He gives life. Through the power of His Word, He heals hearts, souls, minds and bodies. And at the time of death, He brings ultimate healing and ushers us into eternity. In His death and resurrection, we live.” (p.105)
Take Away the Stone will help you explore the life that Jesus promises to every person who trusts in Him. The story of the raising of Lazarus from John 11 will become your story, too.
Take Away the Stone: Jesus Frees us from Death. A Journey through John 11. By Alan Sommer. Xulon Press, 2008. Paper. $12.99.
