THE FIRST EASTER The Week That Changed Everything
Most of us have heard of Easter. Chocolate eggs, a long weekend, maybe a vague memory of a church service somewhere in childhood. But if you asked the average person what actually happened that first Easter — the real one, two thousand years ago — most would struggle to tell you.
That's not a criticism. It's just where a lot of us are. The story got buried under bunny rabbits and bank holidays, and somewhere along the way we lost the plot. Literally.
So this little book has one job: to tell you the story. Not preach at you. Not sell you anything. Just walk you through the most important week in human history, one day at a time, the way it actually unfolded.
I've told it the way I'd tell a mate over coffee — plainly, honestly, without the churchy language that keeps so many people at arm's length. Because here's the thing I've come to believe: this story doesn't need dressing up. It's powerful enough on its own.
Each chapter walks through one part of that final week. At the end of each one, there's a short reflection — a few honest questions to sit with, if you want to. No pressure. Skip them if they're not for you. But if you've ever wondered whether there's something real underneath all the noise, they might be worth a minute of your time.
