The author discusses in detail each of the recorded appearances of Jesus to his followers after his resurrection, based on the text of the New Testament. He also argues that there was a special (unrecorded) appearance to the blessed Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus.

Each appearance is followed by a conversation with Jesus, in the belief that there is no better way to develop a deeper personal relationship with anyone than intense one-on-one conversations.
