Lifted: Experiencing the Resurrection Life
Publisher’s Description
For many people the resurrection is a nice thing to believe in; a handy subject to return to at Easter time or when discussing apologetics. Otherwise we treat it as an event that happened long ago and far away—a “happy ending” to the gospel, after the darkness of the cross.
But Sam Allberry shows us that the resurrection is far more than a mere event. It isn’t just for Easter, it has overwhelmingly positive implications for our lives every day.
The resurrection gives us real assurance of forgiveness and salvation, power to live new and transformed lives, and hope for life after death. Our lives are now different; we have been lifted. Read and be transformed by the real significance of the resurrection.
Sam Allberry is an apologist and writer and a consulting editor for The Gospel Coalition, and is based in Nashville, TN.
Endorsements (${ productEndorsements.length })
“Exactly what we need: joy–giving gospel truth, served up garden fresh. Read and rejoice!”
Michael Reeves
Theological Advisor for UCCF
“Very fresh and accessible – full of nice personal illustration and clear explanation.”
Mark Meynell
Senior Associate Minister, All Souls Church, Langham Place, London
“Lots of Christians discuss and think about the effect of Jesus’ death on their lives, but many seem to be confused about how the resurrection fits into the picture. Lifted will help Christians of all ages and stages worship the Jesus who really is alive for the glorious hope he offers us.”
Maurice and Anna McCracken
UCCF Relay Co-ordinators
“It is extraordinary that there are relatively few books that focus on the vital implications of Jesus’ resurrection. This book helps to plug that gap with a much–needed introduction to what the resurrection has accomplished for us. Sam Allberry peppers good teaching with engaging illustrations which make this a very helpful book for everyone who wants to re–examine this truth.”
Adrian Warnock
blogger and author of Raised with Christ: How the Resurrection Changes Everything
“I think this book rocks! All Christian people need to know the great joy of living in the light of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Sam Allberry has done us all a favor in writing such an engaging and readable book about such a vital subject. It is by turns amusing, moving, encouraging and profound. Writing out of his years of ministry to university students and from his own Christian experience, Sam helps us to look to a familiar horizon with fresh eyes. Lifted is a book that could easily form the center of a discussion group, but individual readers will be – well, ‘lifted’! – by what they find here.”
Dr. Michael Jensen
Lecturer in Christian Doctrine, Moore College, Sydney and author of You: An Introduction
“IT USED TO BE SAID that teaching about the Holy Spirit was the Cinderella of Christian doctrines. If that was ever true, it certainly isn’t now. But the resurrection of Christ would have a much better claim to that title. There are plenty of books and sermons that outline the arguments for its historicity but very few that explain its significance, despite the fact that the New Testament writers proclaim again and again that everything has changed now that Christ is risen. I warmly welcome this excellent book by Sam Allberry and pray that it will be used by God to restore the truth of the resurrection to its proper prominence in our thinking.”
Vaughan Roberts
Rector of St Ebbe's Church, Oxford, UK; President of the Proclamation Trust; author of God's Big Picture
“Sixty years ago, the night I came to know that Jesus, God’s beloved Son, had so loved me that he died for my sins, I was given Philippians 3:10 as my new life’s verse: ‘That I may know [Christ], and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings...’ (AV, my emphasis). After reading this book, Lifted, by Sam Allberry, I feel I have at last entered into a full (or at least, a fuller) understanding of knowing ‘the power of his resurrection.’ I am only sorry I did not read this book many years ago!"
Dr. Helen Roseveare
author and former missionary
“Sam Allberry has written a wonderful book on the significance of the resurrection. Full of great images, clearly organized, encouraging, humorous, biblical, insightful – I could go on. Reading this little volume on a central but neglected topic will benefit your life. If you would like more assurance, transformation, hope and purpose, this book shows you how we get all that from the resurrection of Christ.”
Mark Dever
Pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington DC
