The Whole Easter Story: Why the cross is good news for all creation

Dive into this 40-day Lent devotional to explore how the cross transforms not only our own individual connection with Jesus, but also our relationships with each other and our world. Explore the profound meaning of Easter beyond personal spirituality. There is no doubt that each of us has a place in the Easter story, but what happened on the cross is not just a story of me and Jesus. It is far deeper and wider than that.

Written by Jo Swinney of A Rocha International, Jo explores the broader impact of the Easter story on God’s relationship with creation. Through Bible readings, reflections and stories from A Rocha’s global conservation efforts, discover how the cross transforms not just our own individual connection with Jesus, but also our relationships with each other and our world.

All royalties go to A Rocha’s conservation work around the world.

Listen to a podcast about the book

A Rocha’s Jo Swinney and Rick Faw are joined by Jo Herbert-James to discuss the themes in Jo ’s Lent book, “The Whole Easter Story: why the cross is good news for all creation.” What does our relationship with God have to do with how we live on this earth? How is the death and resurrection of Christ relevant to the current crises of biodiversity collapse and climate change? And are us humans really all that matters to God or just part of the picture?
