Have you ever wondered about the origins of Easter traditions like enjoying chocolate or coloring hard-boiled eggs? In his brand-new book, 12 Things You (Probably) Didn’t Know about Easter, Truth For Life program host Bob Lepine explains how these traditions began—and, more importantly, introduces those unfamiliar with the Gospel to the historical events that took place on the very first Easter. This is a book Bob wrote for you to give to your friends, neighbors, and colleagues who have never explored the facts about Jesus’ death and resurrection and their eternal significance.
It’s not uncommon for Easter traditions like baskets, bunnies, and candy to be the central focus for many who mark this holiday. And for those you know who may be interested in where these fun traditions come from, 12 Things You (Probably) Didn’t Know about Easter is a book they may be very inclined to read. When they do, they’ll learn about the most pivotal event in all human history, who Jesus claimed to be, and who He proved to be. Bob Lepine straightforwardly explains Jesus’ mock trial before the Jewish council, His execution by Pilate, and the eyewitnesses who affirmed the truth of His resurrection.

And the end, readers are invited to learn more by exploring the Gospels.
