title: In Defense of Easter: Answering Critical Challenges to the Resurrection of Jesus
author:  Tim Chaffey 
description: "Challenges to Jesus' Resurrection are frequently made, and answers must be forthcoming. This book responds to many of these contemporary questions, as well as moving beyond arguments and evidences to the application of Resurrection truth. What difference can belief in the resurrection mean for believers today? This volume is an accessible handbook that covers a wide range of issues, both more theoretical as well as practical. I very much enjoyed it, and recommend it to those who love this topic and are interested in material that is not readily available elsewhere." -- Dr. Gary Habermas<br /><br />"I urge you to get your copy of this excellent resource today and share it with your family, friends, and pastors this Easter!" -- Ken Ham, president of Answers in Genesis

  Without this holiday there would be no hope, no future, and our faith would be
  worthless. If that doesn’t make you want to stand up and shout “Hallelujah!” I
  don’t know what will.
  
  God brought to mind so many instances of times He has miraculously spared
  people I knew from death while I was writing this. Although He doesn’t always
  use His power because of His sovereignty and wisdom, it is always
