A book for those big questions

Dead or Alive?  The truth and relevance of Jesus' Resurrection by Daniel Clark
with a foreword by Rico Tice.   Published by IVP

Starting from the premise that the Christian faith stands or falls on the basis of whether Jesus rose from the dead, Daniel Clark, who is known to many of us as Christ Church, explores the evidence for the resurrection, its relevance and implications for today.  Along the way he looks at questions like "Why hasn't God done something about all the suffering?" "What happens when we die?" and "Which religion, if any, is true?"  He also debunks some of the key claims of The Da Vinci Code.

The book is ideal for those who are not Christians but want to explore the central tenets of our faith, or for Christians looking for answers to some of the questions raised by the resurrection story.   The book is interspersed with tinted panels giving the "Real Lives" testimonies of a variety of people who have come to faith.  It is written in a lively style, with touches of humour, and includes line drawings and bold extracts from the text to help drive home the message.
