The explanation of the Easter WeekendTraditionally, the Christian world celebrates the sacrificial death of Jesus on Good Friday, and his rising from the grave on Easter morning. Is this correct? Or do we have it wrong?This book dives into the discussion of the date of the Passover and why it is so important in understanding the days of Jesus' death and resurrection.And also why we need to understand the important differences between the observances of the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread.Understanding these concepts will lead to the understanding of what day Jesus died on, and what day the grave was conquered by our Lord and Savior when he rose from the dead and left his burial clothes behind.The words spoken by Jesus found in Matthew 12:40 (so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth) will be fully fleshed out in this book. Questions will be answered

This beautiful, brave, and liberating book is a triumph of the spirit. Engrossing and exquisitely written, it shines with rare courage and a tender, life-saving wisdom that comes only through facing the darkness we suffer or inflict on others. It is a marvelous story whose characters I am glad to have in my life.

Author, World as Lover, World as Self

Allan Johnson's illumination of the mind of a woman recovering from horrific abuse and loss is miraculous, carried by a story that is both gripping and inspiring. It is a stunning achievement.
Jean Kilbourne
Creator of the award-winning film series, Killing Us Softly

Allan Johnson's writing is moving, insightful, and deeply human. He takes us inside painful lives with courageous truth-telling, yet at the same time takes us inside of characters who can heal and thrive. This is a novel that rings true, and that we need urgently to take into our hearts.
Lundy Bancroft
Author, Why Does He Do That?

The First Thing and the Last portrays an extraordinary woman who is brutalized - but the abuse becomes her sorrow and not her identity in Allan Johnson's complex, masterful and exacting understanding of such a woman's life. His ability and willingness to see so deeply, to portray a woman and her story so profoundly, takes our breath away. Welcome this extraordinary and most original novelist to the ranks of American literature.
Deena Metzger
Poet, novelist, and author of Writing For Your Life

When Allan Johnson asked his dying father where he wanted his ashes to be placed, his father replied--without hesitation--that it made no difference to him at all. In his poignant, powerful memoir, Not from Here, Johnson embarks on an extraordinary, 2,000-mile journey across the Upper Midwest and Northern Plains to find the place where his father's ashes belonged.

As a white man with Norwegian and English lineage, Johnson explores both America and the question of belonging to a place whose history holds the continuing legacy of the displacement, dispossession, and genocide of Native peoples.

More than a personal narrative, Not from Here illuminates the national silence around unresolved questions of accountability, race, and identity politics, and the dilemma of how to take responsibility for a past we did not create. Johnson's story--about the past living in the present; of redemption, fate, family, tribe, and nation; of love and grief--raises profound questions about belonging, identity, and place.
