The First to See Him

Mary Magdalene and the Morning That Changed Everything

by Kimani Upshur, M.Ed.

Mary Magdalene came to the tomb weeping — and became the first person to see the risen Jesus, and the first sent to tell the news. Through John 20, teens walk from garden grief to the moment Jesus speaks her name, and discover what her story says about who Jesus notices, whom he trusts, and why no one's sorrow is the end of their story.

Written for teenagers ages 13–18, this book has twelve chapters, each opening with an illustration and closing with a Do, a Reflect, and a Pray. All Scripture is quoted from the King James Version (KJV). It closes with a Gospel Invitation that explains how to begin following Jesus.
