The Weeping Chamber

The immutable fact of Christ’s resurrection is the cornerstone of Christian faith because it not only vindicates Jesus’ claims to deity, it ensures the future bodily resurrection unto eternal life of all who believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior and proclaim Him as Lord (1 Corinthians 15; 1 Thessalonians 4:13–18).

The stakes could not possibly be higher. As the apostle Paul points out, if Christ did not rise from the dead, our sins are not forgiven, our faith is meaningless, and our loved ones who have died in the Lord are just plain dead.

Hank Hanegraaff has spent a lot of time studying Jesus’ death and resurrection — from the historical sources to modern medical and psychological studies. When he first read friend Sigmund Brouwer’s life-changing work of historical fiction, The Weeping Chamber, he said, "I admit I experienced those truths I knew so well from a completely different angle. I felt Easter in my very bones — and when I was thinking of resources to help you celebrate this Easter, I knew I had to share it with you."

The Weeping Chamber will transport you to the heart of ancient Jerusalem during the days leading up to Christ’s death. With the hand of a master storyteller and the accuracy of a historian, he’ll bring you to the Temple courts...let you hear the roar of the crowd as they hail Jesus as the Messiah and later call for His crucifixion...glimpse the motives and emotions of the people most intimately concerned with the Passion Week.

Most of all, The Weeping Chamber is the intensely personal story of the intersection of two lives: Simeon, a person much like you and me, desperately seeking redemption, and Yeshua, who will provide redemption for all.
