What is Goodbye to Goodbyes A True Story about Jesus, Lazarus, and an Empty Tomb about?
When Lazarus becomes seriously ill, his sisters, Mary and Martha, send for their friend Jesus. But Jesus arrives after Lazarus has died, and the family is heartbroken. At the tomb, Jesus weeps with them—then does something astonishing. This moving retelling of the Bible story shows Jesus’ power over death and points to his promise of life beyond the grave. With warmth and honesty, it helps children think about sadness, loss, hope and the comfort of trusting Jesus.
