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.
