The First Easter

"The First Easter" by James Hartwell Willard is a religious story that vividly recounts the events of Easter. The story begins with the ministry of Jesus and progresses through his betrayal and crucifixion. The book uses an easy-to-understand style to tell the story of the most important parts of the Easter narrative in an accessible way. Ultimately the tale culminates in the joyful discovery of Jesus' resurrection, bringing new hope to his followers. It emphasizes the themes of love and sacrifice through the experiences of Mary Magdalene and the apostles, and it paints a vivid picture of the triumph over death.
