Book Review
‘The Easter Stories’ by Trevor Dennis. SPCK £9.99 978-0-281-05849
After all the titles in Lent, it is less easy to find good quality spiritual reading for the Easter season. Easter Stories by Trevor Dennis of Chester Cathedral helps to fill the gap with a delightful book that is, in effect, a spiritual commentary on the familiar gospel narratives of the resurrection.
The author provides fresh insights at every turn, and helps us to focus upon these stories not only as proof of God’s triumph over evil and death but as stories that enable us today to encounter the Risen One. The book is enhanced by examples of the author’s poetry: these reflective pieces (and that on Emmaus is outstanding) contribute to a book that will have wide appeal and add an inspirational dimension to Eastertide.
