A story by award-winning Cochrane author Lynn Dove is included in the recently-released anthology "Easter Stories and More."

“The Passion Through John’s Eyes” was written in April 2019 for Inscribe Writers Online to provide a different perspective on Easter Story. It became a reimagined journey to witness the final hours after Jesus’ betrayal as seen through the eyes of the Apostle John, who witnessed all the events that led to Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection.

"I thought it would be a great idea to witness the Passion Week through one of the Apostles," Lynn explains.

Later on, it was suggested an anthology of the stories be published, including the one written by Dove.

Only days after writing the story, Lynn was diagnosed with endometrial cancer. It was her second cancer diagnosis, having battled breast cancer in 2001.

"For me, it was a journey because I'd just written the article, and I was already walking another journey, and trusting God for my health," she says.

"Thankfully, I am through all of that and healthy and happy and I've gained back my hair again, and all these things. It's a real blessing to have this book come out this year. It's just a grateful heart I have for the whole experience."

Easter Stores and MoreLynn was featured on Mar. 27 in a blog tour to celebrate the book's release.

The "more" in the book's title speaks to the other items it features.

"There's poetry as well, and there are even some recipes. It's a great little book that has a variety of different stories from different perspectives."

"I just got my copy yesterday, so it was fun to go through it."

Easter Stories and More is currently available for purchase online from Amazon and retail stores.
