Author of The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything and Learning to
Pray on one of the most intriguing events in the New Testament.
“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.
