Easter is a special time of year to remember the very basis of our salvation which the apostle Paul summarises for us in 2 Corinthians when he speaks about Jesus’ death and resurrection and what that has achieved for us:

…one has died for all, therefore all have died, and he died for all that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised. …Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away, behold the new has come.

While strictly not a devotional book, it’s still a great one to read through leading up to Easter. 

 takes us on a tour of thirty different places in the Bible where you can find a prophecy about Jesus, and a number of them focus around the Easter story.

From the promotional blurb: “Many of us are so familiar with the Easter story that it becomes easy to miss subtle details and difficult to really enjoy its meaning. This book will help you to pause and marvel at Jesus, whose now-glorified wounds are a sign of his unfailing love and the decisive victory that he has won”.
