Surprised By Hope

“Surprised by Hope” by Tom Wright looks specifically at how resurrection is understood in Scripture, what it is, and what it is not, and also at what is God therefore wanting to say as we look to be a Church that looks to the future and to the depth and breadth of His promises. Really important as we begin to think about how we seek to be Church in the days and the years to come.
