Adrian was interviewed over at Pastoral Musings: First of all, tell us a little about yourself. We know that you are nearing forty years of age and are a medical doctor, as well as a preacher. Beyond that, I know very little about you other than this book and your blog ( http://adrianwarnock.com ). Perhaps you could tell us a little of your background, how you came to Christ, and how you as a medical doctor became a minister of... Read more
Marcus Honesysett shared the following John Owen quote about the centrality of the resurrection and commented on it: “This truth is so important that nothing in religion can exist without it. The apostles diligently confirmed it in the first churches; and for the same reason it was attacked by Satan and denied and opposed by many. This was done in two ways: first by an open denial of any such thing – “how can some of you say that there... Read more
It still amazes me that, thanks to modern technology, words can fly around the globe into different continents, but also very different church streams. The resurrection of Jesus is the one thing that can unite all true Christians. We all believe in it, and no matter how much we might neglect it, at heart we know it is vital. So it was great to see this paragraph from my recent interview quoted by brothers so far away: There is no... Read more
Aaron Armstrong recently wrote that Raised With Christ is “one of the few new books that I’d classify as essential reading.” He has also reviewed the book on his blog. Here is an extract: “Christianity hinges not only on the empty cross but also on an empty tomb,” writes Adrian Warnock . . . For such an important doctrine, there are shockingly few books written about it. Warnock discovered this for himself when he was asked to preach on Easter Sunday at... Read more
Why not write about the resurrection before Easter? There is no more important subject to think and write about! In the following interview, Brian shares a quote from Raised With Christ: “The truth is, we cannot be truly cross-centered without also being empty-grave centered!” I want to lay down a gauntlet to you. We have ten whole days before Easter. Why not Tweet, Facebook, comment somewhere, or blog about what the resurrection means to you? I will link to a... Read more
Bob Hayton has quoted from a recent interview and added his own comments: In an online interview at ChristianityToday.com, Adrian had this to say about the resurrection. “It is interesting that most Christians talk about the Cross often, and yet we seem to only speak about the Resurrection at Easter. I have also noticed that there is a big contrast between our preaching today, which tends to assume the Resurrection while emphasizing the Cross, and the preaching of the book... Read more
Forerunner Foundations has posted the following, prompted by chapter 12 of Raised With Christ. Not everyone makes the connection between resurrection and revival, but I am convinced they are strongly associated. Here is how the post explains it: By definition, a revival is a resurrection. We can think of this life-giving miracle on two levels. First, individuals need to be revived. This happens as we are connected to the life-giving power of our risen Lord through the ministry of His... Read more
There is reason why so many in our churches ignore the resurrection in their daily lives. They want a savior who forgives their sins, but they don’t want a risen Lord who tells them how to live. via All Comments for: The Resurrection Changes Everything | Christianity Today | A Magazine of Evangelical Conviction.

Dr. Shana will be speaking at this year’s international Newfrontiers conference in Brighton. This video gives us a great introduction to this man of God: Dr Goodwill Shana from Newfrontiers on Vimeo.

In Raised With Christ, I argue that many have never heard the real gospel of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus. Today I share with you some research that demonstrates the truth of this. Quite simply, this is strong evidence that we are not speaking about the resurrection enough. Also, only a tiny percentage of people believe that Easter is the most important holiday of the year. We must change this! Every Christian is meant to be a witness of... Read more
