Experiencing the Resurrection~ Review and giveaway!

With Easter right around the corner thoughts stray to the meaning of this holiday. We prefer to call it Resurrection Sunday instead of Easter.
Keeping the resurrection, and what it means to you and your life, in the forefront of your mind is not always an easy thing to do. Do we even fully understand what it means for us, and how to experience it daily?

Henry and Melvin Blackaby wrote Experiencing the Resurrection so that we could know what it means and experience it in our daily lives.

Every Christian needs to know this information, but this book is also so easy for someone who is wanting to understand Christianity to read. The illustrations and examples reach inside of you and help you relate experientially to what the authors are trying to tell you.
I think this would be a great book to give to someone you are mentoring, or someone who just doesn't get it but is seeking. New Christians would also find this book of great value and encouragement.

Book Description
Experience the powerful reality of Christ’s resurrection in your life. Moment by moment, day by day. 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.

About the Authors
Dr. Henry Blackaby, president of Blackaby Ministries International, is the author of more than a dozen books, including the classic Experiencing God. Dr. Blackaby has spent his life in ministry, serving as a church planter, pastor, and missionary. Henry and his wife, Marilynn, have five grown children.
Dr. Melvin Blackaby coauthored with his father, Henry, the Gold Medallion-winner Experiencing God Together . Traveling extensively as a conference speaker, Mel's first love is the pastorate. He serves as senior pastor of Bow Valley Baptist Church in Cochrane, Alberta, Canada, where he lives with his wife, Gina, and their three children.

I love your post on Resurrection Sunday!

There are a number of people who would argue that Jesus did not have to have a bodily resurrection or some even argue that Jesus’ death alone was enough, but we agree with Paul when he tells us that anything short of a bodily resurrection ignores the victory of God.

God does not want to just rescue people from this material world — God wants to restore all things. God CHOSE to send His son to die on the cross for OUR sins.

Jesus’ resurrection reminds us of three things

God has defeated death.
God has defeated evil.
God has begun His redemptive work.
