About this audiobook
We live the Christian life out of a rich tradition of formation-by-resurrection. Jesus' resurrection provides the energy and resources by which we "walk before the Lord in the land of the living" (Ps. 116:9). And yet, the do-it-yourself, self-help culture of North America has so thoroughly seeped into our imaginations that we hardly pay attention to the biggest thing of all - resurrection. This series attempts to recover our resurrection centre and embrace the formation traditions that develop out of it. The lectures explore three aspects of Jesus' resurrection that define and energize us:

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I hate to sound so atypical but the thing I didn’t like about this audiobook is that the audio was a bit boring. If you need someone to fall asleep to this guys voice is awesome. I guess that could be a compliment and an insult but not really meaning it directly as one or the other. But I gave it 4 stars solely based on the actual lecture and information that was delivered. The thought process to come to the enhanced conclusions he came to in regards to the resurrection is at very minimum interesting and worthy of considering.
