Publisher's summary

A beloved pastor and a New York Times bestselling author examine scripture and share inspiring personal stories to help show the important role that Jesus’ resurrection plays in our everyday lives.

The Son of God was crucified, died and buried, and He lay in the tomb for three days—until He walked out shining like the sun. In a culture in which history is erased or rewritten at will, the existence of an empty tomb matters. Why?

Because if the tomb is empty—then anything is possible.

In his first book, Joby Martin, Lead Pastor of the Church of Eleven22, dives deep into scripture and traces the story of salvation by highlighting the seven mountains throughout scripture where God manifests himself. As he describes each encounter with God, Martin shows us how the interaction on each mountain laid the groundwork for the sacrifice of Christ on Calvary, and shows what God revealed about Himself in the process. He illuminates seven familiar passages, unveiling how God's plan for Christ's sacrifice is threaded throughout scripture, and shows why Christ's resurrection—impossible, unbelievable—means that nothing is too hard for our God. Ultimately, he asks listeners, Do you live every day of your life as if the tomb is empty—or as though Jesus is still hanging on that cross?

Written with New York Times bestselling author Charles Martin, If the Tomb is Empty is an insightful and spiritually rich examination of what the miracle of Christ's resurrection means for all of us.

Critic reviews

"If the tomb is empty, then anything is possible…. What if we really believed that? Joby Martin challenges us with this question in his first book and walks us through the scriptures to point us to the life changing truth of Jesus on the cross." (Matt Carter, Lead Pastor of Sagemont Church, Houston, TX, Author of The Long Walk Home)

“Joby Martin gives powerful examples in his own life and throughout Scripture where God intervened in the lives of ordinary people like you and me. He points us to the life-changing gospel of Jesus Christ and the Resurrection because it's the empty tomb that changes everything. With the same passion Joby preaches, his first book will inspire you. Every Christian should read it." (Phil Hopper, Lead Pastor of Abundant Life, Author of Defeating the Enemy and The Weapons of Our Warfare)

"There is no greater event, no greater story than the one Joby has based this book, his life, and ministry on - the empty tomb. When you finish, you will gain a paradigm shifting outlook on life." (Bryan Loritts, Author of The Dad Difference)

Awesome Book—

Pastor Joby is one of the best bible teachers in the country. His new book is jam packed with easy to understand and relatable bible teachings. If you want to dive deeper into the Bible this is the book for you. It’s also pretty funny at times and very entertaining unlike a lot of bible teaching books that stay in the serious lane the whole time.

refreshingly transparent

I met Joby Martin in 2011 when I visited the 11:22 service at Beach United Methodist. I have been a member of this movement since before the launch. I am so thankful for Joby's obedience to let go and let God build His church. I have heard most of these stories before, but this book was a perfect reminder of who I am and whose I am.

This book, this guy… so good!

I am very thankful for Joby. He has been instrumental in my life for a long time. His first book is steeped in Biblical knowledge and having him narrate it makes the Audible version very special. You would do well to spend several hours with Joby yourself!

Well written and narrated. This is a book I needed at this point in my life and I have already shared the title with others, will start sharing the book.

Each chapter is a message and has so much value to apply to life.

Excuses get buried here!

If d tomb is empty, then anything is possible. So what’s our excuse for living beneath the privileges of Jesus’ finished work? Pastor Martin does a phenomenal job of entombing our excuses so we can live like Jesus really is alive. Highly recommend.

Refreshing Listen

I’ve read many books on the spiritual life and this one is so simple, yet effective in sharing how to follow Jesus... It’s all about Jesus’ story through out scripture and the authors bring it to Him every story and every scripture, every time.
