Rising in Christ Meditations on Living the Resurrection

How can the power of the resurrection be ours as we live our lives each day? No one understands and articulates the meaning of the resurrection of Christ better than Pope John Paul II. The reflections in Rising in Christ are taken from talks and writings of the Holy Father spanning 25 years and will bring readers to a new awareness and recognition of the transforming power of the risen Christ. The book is structured to guide readers through the mystery of Christ's resurrection, leading them on the passages we all must take as Christians -- from doubt to certainty, from sin to holiness, and from death to immortality. It also helps us understand how to live the resurrection by making it a source of hope and power in our lives. Each chapter is introduced by a prayer to help readers begin the reflections with an open and receptive heart. As people come to a deeper understanding of the resurrection, they will celebrate the liturgical seasons with even more joy and gratitude.John Paul II is the author of 'Rising in Christ Meditations on Living the Resurrection', published 2004 under ISBN 9781593250331 and ISBN 1593250339.
