Description
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is compelling because it puts everything into perspective. In the middle of desperation, there is hope. After tragedy, there can be redemption. Even in the face of death, there is a promise of new life.
In Life After Life, Mark Meynell begins by unpacking how Jesus' resurrection from the dead fulfilled God's plan of salvation. It then explores the ways in which the eternal life won by Christ is available to us, even now, through the Holy Spirit. Finally, readers are invited to imagine how this life might continue into a heaven and an Earth that have been gloriously remade.
In Christ, we can all be raised to life. So, let a fresh vision of the Resurrection encourage you to live boldly, with purpose and hope.

Reviews / Votes
'If you want to take a fresh look at the Bible and its relevance for today, then this is the book for you. Providing readers with a fascinating panoramic view of the Bible, Life after Life examines several important apologetic themes and so-called difficult biblical texts. It focuses on the resurrection and shows how the Bible is designed to lead its readers from reflecting on the reality of death to considering life in all its fullness and rich meaning. It also high lights the significance of the longing for eternal life in each of our hearts.' -- Sergiy Tymchenko, President, REALIS Christian Center, Kyiv, UkraineMore details
