Before Sunday

History remembers the cross. It celebrates the empty tomb. But the untold hours between them invite us to discover what it means to wait on God.

What do you do when God seems silent?

For Jesus’ followers, the hours between Good Friday and Easter Sunday were filled with grief, uncertainty, fear and waiting. They had witnessed the crucifixion of the one they believed was the Messiah, but they had not yet seen the empty tomb. They didn’t know Sunday was coming.

“Before Sunday” invites readers to journey through the 40 days of Lent by stepping into the stories of those who waited through history’s darkest hours. Through Scripture, thoughtful reflection and biblically grounded imagination, readers walk alongside Peter, John, Mary, Mary Magdalene, Thomas, James and others as they process loss, hope, doubt and faith while waiting for God’s greatest victory to unfold. Rooted in the biblical accounts of the Lenten season and enriched with historical fiction, this film tie-in offers an immersive retelling of the events leading to the cross and resurrection.

As readers follow their journey, they will discover that the season of waiting is never wasted. God is at work even in the silence, strengthening faith, renewing hope and preparing hearts for resurrection.

“Before Sunday” offers a meaningful way to prepare for Easter by remembering the sacrifice, embracing the waiting and celebrating the hope that changes everything.
