"Thousands of people felt at first hand the unforgettable force of Peter Marshall's ministry; many hundreds of thousands more have drawn inspiration and deep spiritual insight from The Prayers of Peter Marshall and from Catherine Marshall's best-selling story of his life, A Man Called Peter. For Peter Marshall's sermons proved him not only a devout man of God but also an exciting storyteller. In this book, Catherine Marshall has skillfully wrought from the many inspiring sermons of her late husband a magnificent dramatic narrative of Easter. Here in The First Easter are all the important scenes and events of Christ's Passion, from the Last Supper to the Resurrection - a drama alternately tender and terrible, but always engrossing. Through the words of Peter Marshall you will witness the tense encounter between Jesus and Judas at the Last Supper. You will walk with the disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane, where Christ is betrayed and taken prisoner. You will share the agony of Simon Peter as he thrice denies Christ before the cock crows. Peter Marshall's version of the great Easter story is exciting, reverent, and, above all, graphic. The characterizations in The First Easter are acutely drawn and poignantly real. The Savior, Simon Peter, Judas, Pilate, Caiaphas and Mary Magdalene - these and others all appear in memorable three-dimensional portraits. Dr. Marshall observes the dramatic changes wrought in the apostles by the Resurrection. He captures both the essential significance of Christ's crucifixion in His own time and, in a moving summation to the book, the meaning of Easter for today's Christians.".
