Windows on Easter

See the death and resurrection of Christ through the eyes of those who were there! A different perspective can revolutionize our appreciation of the familiar. This is what Bill Crowder does as he examines the familiar Easter story. By looking through the windows provided by some of the people who were there—Malchus, the Centurion, Joseph of Arimathea, Mary Magdalene and the other women disciples, and the disciples on the road to Emmaus—we see and feel what they saw and felt, and learn from their responses. As we enter into the events that altered the world forever, we get what we need most—fresh perspective.

Bill Crowder joined the Our Daily Bread Ministries staff in 2001 after more than 20 years in the pastorate stretching from West Virginia to southern California to west Michigan. Over the years, Bill has spent much of his time in a Bible-conference ministry around the world, serving ODBM offices and their outreach to their local communities. 

Bill is a contributing writer for the Our Daily Bread devotional and has written many Bible study booklets for ODBM’s Discovery Series. He has also published a number of books with Our Daily Bread Publishing, including Wisdom for Our Worries. Bill also serves as cohost on Discover the Word, a podcast and daily radio program heard nationwide. 

Now semiretired, Bill and his wife, Marlene, live in North Carolina. They have been married for over 45 years and have five adult children and a growing legion of grandchildren. To relax, Bill enjoys playing golf whenever possible, and following sports, especially the English Premier League’s Liverpool Football Club.
