The Resurrection is the single most dramatic event of all time. Theologians, historians and even nonbelievers have given their version of what happened--in narratives that are often very different. In taking a close look at what actually happened, this account notes the differences, but does not attempt to explain them away. Instead, it presents a realistic picture of Jesus and his followers after the Resurrection. Not as well known, is that soon after rising, Christ began teaching a new message, a message that his followers would heed as the Holy Spirit entered their lives. The wonderful gifts of the Spirit they received are not only for them. They are ours too, if we dare to ask.

What is happening to Christianity? Is worldwide Christianity in decline or is it entering a period of change and growth? Has religious belief been transformed by the popular ideas of Darwin, Freud, Hugh Hefner and others? How are we personally affected by increasing cultural change, and, most importantly, does Christ continue to make a difference in the modern world? This well researched book explores both modern culture and science and shows how they impact our thinking and Christianity. It describes the influence of television and our media driven world and illustrates the spectacular growth of Christianity in other countries. The book provides insights that may enable us to act with greater freedom. It may even change the way we think about God. An enlightening read.

Armed with the findings of those who have spent much of their careers discovering what actually affects happiness, we can choose to focus on those things and activities which will bring us happiness and joy.
