This is soul-nourishing and highly recommended Ben Witherington III, author of A Week in the Life of CorinthIn this wise and thoughtful book, Father James Martin, SJ, analyses the miracle of Lazarusâ™s resurrection and asks us to consider what Jesus means when he calls Lazarus â" and each of us â" 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 Martinâ™s personal experiences. As he explores these strands in-depth, Martin offers us a deeper understanding of this miracle and its essential message â" 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.
