Easter Fact and Fiction

DescriptionEaster is a time of year where non-Christians seem to be more open to hearing the gospel message or attending a church service—even if sometimes just to cover up their interest in the chocolate! Respected author, presenter and wordsmith Kel Richards has crafted an evangelistic tract that starts with general Easter interest and cleverly end up with the gospel message. It takes the questions that regular people have idly wondered about Easter and steers them humorously but deftly through the traditions and tales into the truth. Attractively packaged to appeal to a wide audience, Easter Fact and Fiction is a great conversation starter and continuer that will see more people come to understand how much God loves them, and hopefully to experience their first Easter partaking of Jesus’ salvation death and resurrection life. It’s also an ideal giveaway for churches at busy Easter services. Easter Fact and Fiction answers some of the common and logical questions about Easter that people have, including: Is it true that Easter is a pagan festival stolen by Christians? Why do kids make funny hats at Easter? Where did the Easter bunny come from? Why should I care what happened 2,000 years ago?
