"Part exploration of the life and death of Lazarus; part spiritual
direction on how that story can bring us to new spiritual life;
part personal application of the story to Martin's own life--this
remarkable testimony demonstrates the power of a single Gospel
story. This is soul-nourishing and highly recommended."--Ben
Witherington III, author of A Week in the Life of Corinth One of
America's most beloved spiritual leaders and the New York Times
bestselling author of The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything and
Learning to Pray examines one of the most intriguing events in the
New Testament--the story of Jesus raising Lazarus from the
dead--and explains its significance for us today. ?In this wise and
thoughtful book, Father James Martin, SJ, analyzes the miracle of
Lazarus's resurrection and asks us to consider what Jesus means
when he calls Lazarus--and each of us--to "come forth." Taking us
through the Gospel story verse by verse, he offers deep reflection
on the lessons it holds about love, family, sadness, frustration,
fear, anger, freedom, and joy. Come Forth combines compelling
analysis of the biblical text, insights about the historical
setting of the story, meditations on Lazarus in art and the larger
culture, as well as stories of Martin's personal experiences. As he
explores these strands in-depth, Martin offers us a deeper
understanding of this miracle and its essential message--letting go
of the limiting beliefs that prevent us from experiencing God in
all His glory. "All of us have things that we need to 'let die' in
order to follow God more freely, to love more deeply, and to become
the people whom God desires us to be," Martin writes. As this wise
and profound book reveals, we need only to open ourselves to the
transformative story of Lazarus and trust that God can use it to
free us to experience new life--and come closer to Him.
