Max in the Easter Basket

Max Lucado, whose Christian books have sold an astonishing 33 million copies, produces another gift book for all ages in Resurrection Morning, an Easter story. In the story, Christ's resurrection is viewed through the eyes of a Roman soldier stationed at Jesus' tomb. After feeling the ground shake beneath him and seeing a flash of white light emanate from the tomb, the soldier knows that he has witnessed a miracle. Lucado uses his gift of storytelling and perceptive character study to enrich this book, which has full-color illustrations. (Crossway, $9.99 48p ISBN 1-58134-547-X; Jan.)
