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.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

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.

Experiencing the Resurrection by Henry and Melvin Blackaby - My Review

This book is quite encouraging and convicting in a number of ways as I am reading. The Blackabys intersperse many scriptures with their narrative and have much to say about the reality of God's power in our lives. This is not just a "happy - perfect life if we follow him" book though. The authors acknowledge our imperfection as humans as well as that we will face struggles and difficulties. They do remind us though that the trials and difficulties we face will ultimately be used by God in ways we can't see now. His purpose supercedes even the poor choices we ourselves make, if we are His. This is a wonderful study of Christ, God and the reality of the Resurrection for Christians today as well as what it means for our lives now.

See this post for details on how to win a copy of this small but powerful read steeped in scripture and faith building encouragement for even the roughest times we face.
