What did Easter mean to those who were there, and what might it mean for us today?

This Lent, step inside the story at the heart of the Christian faith. In Risen Indeed: Easter Letters from Those Who Were There, familiar and unexpected voices from scripture write to us from across time to share their personal experiences of Jesus's final days. Through creatively imagined first-person letters, characters like Mary Magdalene, Peter, the Samaritan woman, Pontius Pilate, Barabbas, and Judas reflect on how they were forever changed by the events of Holy Week. In these often-surprising accounts, radically diverse voices create space and inspiration for us to ponder our own understanding of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

Written by the author of the bestselling Season's Greetings: Christmas Letters from Those Who Were There, this new seasonal devotional includes companion prayers, questions for reflection, and journaling prompts to help readers linger and connect holistically with the biblical story.

Risen Indeed invites lifelong Christians and spiritual seekers alike to sit with their questions of the Resurrection, probe what they've always been taught, and in so doing, draw new and deeper conclusions from the traditional Easter greeting, "The Lord is risen."

This Lent, encounter the mystery and hope of Easter anew with this extraordinary and unique Lenten devotional from popular author Ruth Boling.
