Easter Mysteries: Participant Guide to the Film with Leader Helps

About this ebook
The story is a celebration that sheds a new light onto the biblical figures of Christ’s story in human terms—ordinary people with hopes, dreams, and fears, uncertain of what lies ahead.
This participant guide to the film will lead you through viewing Easter Mysteries, a musical production by Tony Award–winning Broadway producer, John O’Boyle, with additional information, insightful questions, lyrics, and notes from the producer. Brought to life by a cast of Broadway veterans, the production helps groups consider the story of Jesus’s last days and resurrection with fresh eyes. The video can be watched in one event with discussion at intermission and after the conclusion or viewed in three segments in a small-group setting. The guide includes a summary of each act with discussion questions, selections from the key lyrics, and leader helps in the back for planning a one-night event or a three-session group study.
