A Resurrection Shaped Life: Dying and Rising on Planet Earth (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781501870811)

Can we begin to experience the resurrection in our ordinary life on earth? Bishop Jake Owensby says yes as he 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.
