A companion for the liturgical season surrounding Easter, The Rising is designed to help readers discover Jesus' resurrection in the fabric of everyday life. The book offers a unique blend of theology, poetry, hymns, and insightful personal stories. A follow-up to Wright's book The Vigil, The Rising is divided into five parts and is inspired by scripture found in the Common Lectionary. Designed for study and reflection for either individuals or groups, the readings contained in this lyrical book focus on the themes of reconciliation, forgiveness, love, community, and the mystery of pain and brokenness. This book is also available in the Wendy Wright Seasonal Trilogy.
