Andrew Peterson’s Easter Offering

Today I won’t be sharing a poem I’ve labored over or a passage of Scripture I’ve meditated on. Instead, on this Good Friday I want to give you a gift that someone else—someone loads more talented—has labored over long and hard. And believe me, you’ll be glad for it. 

You may have heard of Andrew Peterson, the Christian songwriter, singer, and author, but did you know he has some fabulous music for this time of year? In fact, he has not one but three albums in celebration of this Lenten season! The albums all share the title Resurrection Letters and are divided into Prologue, Volume 1, and Volume 2. They each have a different purpose, but all are equally fabulous. 

The funny thing is that he wrote the albums in reverse order: the first one he made was Resurrection Letters, Volume 2, and then ten years later he released Prologue and Volume 1 just over a month apart. He explains this odd, Star Wars-esque situation this an encouraging, enlightening article on his website, rabbitroom.com. He also shares the struggles and desires that went into the making of such powerful albums. Would you read his article and then join me in worshiping our Savior through these songs? We may have to spend Easter in our own homes this year, but that doesn’t mean we’re alone; we’ll be united in praising the power of God with brothers and sisters from around the globe. And if we celebrate wish this album, we’ll have that in common too!

You can find the music on Youtube and Spotify, but you’ll have to contend with commercials and other annoyances. The better option is to download your very own copies of these albums. Just visit the Rabbit Room store and purchase the Prologue, Volume 1, and Volume 2. Easy peasy! (Wow, it sounds like I’m making some kind of kickback from album sales, but I’m not. I just really appreciate Andrew Peterson’s stuff.)

So no matter where you find yourself this Good Friday, let these songs lead you to worship the Lamb who was slain and was raised again! Hallelujah!
