Description
Come Forth: The Promise of Jesus’s Greatest Miracle by James Martin is a deeply moving and insightful meditation on one of the most profound events in the New Testament — the raising of Lazarus. Published in 2023, this reflective work from the bestselling author of The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything offers readers a thoughtful, verse-by-verse exploration of the biblical account, delving into its spiritual, historical, and emotional layers. Father James Martin draws fresh meaning from the moment Jesus calls Lazarus to “come forth,” revealing its enduring message of hope, freedom, and new life.
Blending compelling biblical analysis with cultural insights and personal stories from his journeys in the Holy Land, Martin invites readers to reflect on their own personal tombs — those places of fear, sorrow, or stagnation — and the grace that calls them out into joy and renewal. Come Forth has been praised for its compassion, clarity, and wisdom, offering both believers and spiritual seekers a rich and hopeful meditation on faith, family, and the miracle of transformation.
A perfect read for anyone seeking thoughtful Christian reflection and inspiration rooted in one of scripture’s most powerful miracles.
