The Lazarus Life is 10 Years Old!

2018 marked the 10th anniversary of The Lazarus Life being published. This amazing book has been the invitation for thousands of people across the globe to experience what transformation is, looks like and acts like. Readers are taken into the story of Lazarus and invited to experience such transformation with Jesus as Lazarus did. In the spring and through Lent, The Lazarus Life makes the ideal study for a group or church-wide study. 

The life of Lazarus is one of the most recognizable stories found in God’s word. The chronicle of an ordinary man who found himself at the center of an  astounding miracle. A divine process that fully revealed Christ’s transforming power, through a resurrection that preceded His very own.

But what if the story of Lazarus holds powerful parallels for us today? What if his story of hope and heartbreak, expectancy and disappointment, death and life, is our story too? What if the transformation Lazarus experienced is available to you and me?

Stephen W. Smith presents a remarkable journey through the life of Lazarus, offering eye-opening insights into the Christian life, as we encounter:

  • A lingering Jesus

  • A life trapped in the tomb

  • The smell of the grave clothes

  • The need for others to help us

  • And the Voice of Love that calls your name

Come explore the life and legacy of Lazarus. Discover a story all your own.  And hear the voice of the One who loves you.

The Lazarus Life is not designed to be a quick read. It's a guide for your own journey of personal spiritual transformation. We offer these resources to help you along the way. We want to highlight Living the Lazarus Life Guidebook, which was written to accompany The Lazarus Life book.
