Discover how the disciples sorrow turned to joy and wonder when they saw Jesus once again in their presence after his death, eating and drinking with them. Be immersed in the excitement of Pentecost and the inspiring speech by Peter that led to the baptism of 3,000 people.

The stories in The Empty Tomb closely follow the accounts in the Bible and are written so that they can be read alone or read aloud. Stylish and witty illustrations bring these events of the first Easter through to Pentecost to life.
