Living the Resurrection: The Risen Christ in Everyday Life

I have read many of Peterson’s books, and I haven’t been disappointed by this one. I am not sure what it means when you want to highlight every word on every page....except that I need to come back, again and again, to the elemental truth of the practice of resurrection. To repent and follow, again and again.

Liked all.read reading for insights.

This is a good book for group discussion - it easily lends itself to an exchange of. experiences and ideas regarding faith and practices. We read it for a Sunday school class.

One of the best books I have read on being an authentic Christian in the 21st Century. Packed with great insights, Peterson's Spirit-illuminated views provide accurate diagnosis combined with biblical remedies. It is a must read for anyone looking to make sense of how the secular worldviews have crept into the church and wants to recover how to seek God in the ordinariness of life.

Well written, easy to read and very thought provoking. Created some excellent discussion sessions at our home group meeting. Well worth studying.

Very insightful and easy to read. Gives a new understanding about resurrection and that how under valued we have taken it.

I wanted to read this book because Peterson always brings new insight to the subject . He did not disappoint. I very much appreciated his points that Christian formation takes place in everyday life and that we experience resurrection and community . However in spite of Some attempts to tie the book together it seemed like a series of essays.

Great Read

Well written, reflective and a fantastic, compelling read.

I had expected better. I read paragraph after paragraph and wondered '"What on earth does that mean?' It's not that I'm thick or anything - I read Chaucer for fun and even get Ted Hughes' poetry - but I really struggled to even understand the English of 90% of this book, let alone to decipher the layer upon layer of metaphor.An example: "For most of us, the machine has replaced the meal as the dominant feature and metaphor of daily living" Huh? What machine is this? The washing machine? Some metaphorical machine? In what way has it replaced meals? Why would a meal be a metaphor of daily living? Or a machine?This kind of thing is all through the book. I genuinely have no idea what he was going on about most of the time. What I got from this book was:Ch1: we should all go back to legalistic Sabbath keepingReally? Does that include not changing the baby's nappy? (cos that sure ain't a hobby!)Ch2: we should cook all meals from scratchSeriously? I'm guessing he doesn't have children and a job and a house to run, then. Be realistic, pleaseCh3: we should have Christian friendsSure, but is that worth writing a book about?He keeps going on about 'Formation by Resurrection' but never explains what he means by that. Very frustrating!Best thing about this book?It's short
