The Small Club Operations Playbook turns that chaos into a simple, repeat...

This volume explores the transformative power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Devoted disciples and scholars reflect on what it means to live in Christ—to walk in newness of life, to gain a more expansive view of ourselves and others, to be changed by grace, and to find divine peace and joy even in our darkest moments. Together, their reflections testify that Christ’s triumph over death is not only a historical miracle but also a present source of joy, healing, and renewal.
