The cross is not the end of the story. What began as the world’s darkest night gave way to its brightest day. In part two of the series Turning the World Right-Side Up, we focus on the resurrection and the disciples’ mission to spread the Gospel.
Join David Wollen and special guest, author and pastor Marty Machowski, as they explore how the resurrection of Jesus Christ brings hope and transformation to our upside-down world.
Darkest Night Brightest Day
A Family Devotional for the Easter Season
Marty Machowski’s book, Darkest Night Brightest Day, shows how Jesus’ resurrection turned the world upside down and right side up. Families begin this devotional on Palm Sunday with the first side, Darkest Night. These seven stories depict the events leading up to Christ’s crucifixion, when “there was darkness over the whole land” (Luke 23:44b). But that is not the end of the story! Flip the book over on Easter morning and continue reading Brightest Day.
These seven stories recount Christ’s resurrection, ascension, and Pentecost. Machowski provides discussion questions (and answers) for parents of preschool and school-aged children. Illustrated by Phil Schorr, this beautiful book will become a treasured Easter favorite as a reminder of how God turned the darkest night into the brightest day.
