Practice Resurrection: A Conversation on Growing Up in Christ

Practice Resurrection: A Conversation on Growing Up in Christ by Peterson, Eugene H.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780802829559.

Winner of Christianity Todays 2011 award for best book in spirituality Though bringing people to new birth in Christ through evangelism is essential, says Eugene Peterson, isnt growth in Christ equally essential? Yet the American church by and large does not treat Christian maturity and character formation with much urgency. In Practice Resurrection Peterson brings the voice of Scripture -- especially Pauls letter to the Ephesians -- and the voice of the contemporary Christian congregation together to unpack the crucial truth of what it means to fully grow up to the "stature of Christ."
