In the First Presidency's (2025) Easter Message, President Dallin H. Oaks encouraged members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to strengthen our testimony and public witness that Jesus was resurrected. In this book, we will discover the evidences of the Lord's literal resurrection, and we will also examine the unique and beautiful doctrine for which the Church teaches on this topic.

Research has shown that fewer people, including those who identify as "Christian," believe in the literal resurrection of Jesus Christ. Because of this, we as disciples of the Lord are called to take upon ourselves the same mission for which ancient saints also participated in, which was to teach, preach, and defend the doctrine of the Lord's resurrection.

This book answers the following questions:
1. What prophecies are there about the Lord's resurrection?
2. Who were some of the eye witnesses of the resurrected Lord?
3. How did the knowledge of the Lord's resurrection change these eye witnesses, and how might it change us today?
4. Is the resurrection of the Lord a part of--or separate event from--the "atonement of Christ"?
5. Why is the doctrine of the resurrection under attack today, and what can we do to defend it?
