Henry and Melvin Blackaby, Experiencing the Resurrection: The Everyday Encounter that Changes Your Life. Waterbrook Multnomah, 2008.
Companion volume: Henry and Melvin Blackaby, Experiencing the Resurrection Study Guide
LifeandLeadership.com Summary
This book may be of interest to those who use Blackaby’s popular curriculum Experiencing God or his book on personal and corporate revival, Fresh Encounter. This volume discusses how the resurrection, and our participation in Christ’s life through that historic act, allows us to live more victoriously and confidently. It is part of a large line of books and workbooks that build upon the teaching and approach of Blackaby’s popular curriculum, Experiencing God.
Some may wish to balance the Experiencing God resources with the evaluation of mystical spirituality by Michael Horton, In the Face of God, which was written several years before. Nevertheless, many Christians have healthfully deepened their walk with God through this curriculum. Several volumes from the series are linked in the summary of Experiencing God. See similar resources, some of which provide a good balance to Blackaby, in the guiding essay on Spiritual Revival.
From the Publisher
Two thousand years ago, God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. But that isn’t a mere historical event. It isn’t simply a theological doctrine. It is rather a “huge moment” that reverberates powerfully and meaningfully throughout history. Even today. Even in your life.
When God raised Jesus, He also made it possible for Christ’s life to reign eternally in His followers. The resurrection is the foundation of your total freedom and complete victory in Christ. And so it is an event–an experience–that’s worthy of your daily celebration.
Experiencing the Resurrection is the second in a groundbreaking trilogy by the world-renowned spiritual leader Dr. Henry Blackaby and his son, Dr. Melvin Blackaby, that guides you into experiencing the gospel of Christ in its fullness. In this book they offer you a deeper understanding of the glorious, joyous dimensions of the resurrection, with the goal of revealing the living Lord at work in your daily life.
This is the first step to fully knowing and experiencing the peace, joy, power, purpose, and confidence that God promises you through the resurrection of His Son.
