There is Hope after Death

New Book Tells story of importance of the resurrection of Jesus Christ

Modesto, CA – (Release Date May 24, 2006) – The resurrection of Jesus Christ continues to bring meaning to people’s faith and lives.  Because of the courage inspired by the resurrection of Christ, the fear of death is conquered and children who understand the importance of his resurrection will be inspired and amazed.  In the new picture book Grandfather’s Journal, author Chris Hansen presents to readers a story of faith, life, meaning and heart-warming hope.

Grandfather’s Journal powerfully focuses on the resurrection of Christ and its impact on children. Most people fear death throughout their lives.  Doubts and skepticism cloud their minds. And as time passes, children eventually forget the true meaning of many church traditions they practiced in childhood.  The resurrection of Jesus Christ in this book begins an amazing transformation on the characters in this heartwarming story changing them into courageous believers.  From the book’s pages, readers will find themselves immersed by the influence of Christ as if they were the characters themselves.

Though the book is fictional, Grandfather’s Journal contains much profound truth and its moral lessons make it attractive to children and parents looking for a clear explanation of hope after death.  Author Chris Hansen’s picture book is no less amazing and inspiring and his book is now available for readers to pick up at their respective libraries and bookstores.
