Can we begin to experience the resurrection in our ordinary life on earth? A Resurrection Shaped Life re-examines the biblical concept of resurrection and how Jesus’ resurrection influences his followers every day.

 
A resurrection-shaped life:

• Finds hope through honest reflection on the past.

• Discovers meaning in suffering.

• Moves beyond shame and blame toward self-acceptance and compassion.

• Emerges from loss and regret to find contentment and joy.

• Develops forgiveness as a habitual way of life.

• Transcends “us-them” divisions to form inclusive community.

• Draws strength from the hope of life after life.

A Resurrection Shaped Life explains how we begin to experience resurrection in Christian practices such as repentance and forgiveness and discusses how new life emerges from our small deaths: suffering, shame, regret, and loss.
