Experiencing the Resurrection: The Everyday Encounter That Changes Your Life

by Henry T. Blackaby, Melvin D. Blackaby

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.

What a wonderful book that brings insight into how Christ's resurrection impacts a believers faith and life.

This book could be used as a devotional which I chose to do. It is divided into three sections. The Resurrection in the Heart and Mind of God, The Resurrection in the life of the Lord Jesus and The Resurrection n the Believer's Experience.

I like that the book had many scripture references and that there was not an overabundance of personal examples.

This book is an excellent choice if you are looking for a great book to encourage you in your christian walk.

The same writer who penned Experiencing God, Henry Blackaby, writes Experiencing the Resurrection. In this work, Blackaby shares about the importance of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. He also includes details and historical evidence that gives proof that the Resurrection of Jesus is no fable. If Jesus did rise from the dead imagine the change that His resurrection could produce in your life. Definitely a good read, especially when it comes to the Historical evidence of the crucification and resurrection of Christ.

I liked Experiencing the Holy Spirit much more than this one. This was good but just kind of flat for me. There was nothing that I haven’t already heard, taught, or believed. Probably a great read for a new Believer

Thought provoking

I chose this rating as. I found this book very challenging to my daily life and spiritual life. It made me rethink my views of eternal life and ressurection

I started this as a Lenten devotion with the goal of finishing it by Easter. In the end, I had to stop working in the Study Guide, which is a separate book, in order to achieve that goal. Many of the lessons this book brings forth, I heard from preachers during this Lenten Season. I wondered how many times I had heard them before and just now realized their significance. It's not enough to say, "Jesus died for my sins." It's not enough to say, "I believe in Jesus." It's not enough to say, "Jesus died and rose again so I might have eternal life." Experiencing the resurrection means truly repenting, turning around. Experiencing the resurrection means dying to self. The authors very succinctly explain exactly what that means in today's world. The resurrection isn't something that happened over 2000 years ago. It is happening today. I don't think I could pick a favorite chapter, but one I really liked was "Resurrection Joy." Some quotes from the book picked at random: "To the world, hope is wishful thinking...For believers in Christ, hope is reality waiting to happen." "Remember, Jesus doesn't give us power. He is our power." "We need to spend time with Jesus and not be satisfied with a quick little devotional thought for the day."

I loved this book! Resurrection is to bring about new life and this book definitely ignites a new life or renewed life in you. Henry and Melvin Blackaby have put together an amazing collection of thought-provoking chapters.

My favorite is chapter 8 "Resurrection Peace" - I had a personal revelation on the sense of peace that I've experienced since my salvation. I've been through some highs and lows yet have maintained a sense of peace through the Holy Spirit and my relationship with Christ.

I love how they question the reader. - "Why is it so many are anxious, worried, stressed, restless and on edge? It's because we all want peace, but few are willing to do what's necessary to obtain it. ...We do the very thing that robs of us peace and hurts our relationship with God. People knowingly disobey God, yet want Him to overlook it and bless their lives."

Examining what we are doing to disobey God and then taking action by repenting, asking forgiveness, and correcting our behavior is a big first step to finding more peace in our lives.

I highly recommend this book!

The resurrection of Jesus is the very foundation of our salvation and our lives. The fact that we can have a one on one, personal relationship with Jesus is more and means more than words can ever say.
