I can think of a worse charge! May we all always be guilty of that. I have two more endorsements for you this week:<\/p>\n

\u201cAdrian Warnock rightly highlights the common neglect of the resurrection and helpfully shows why this matters. Come and share the excitement of his own rediscovery of this central event of our faith.\u201d
\u2014Tim Chester<\/a>, The Crowded House and the Northern Training Institute<\/p>\n

\u201cAdrian Warnock is brilliantly obsessed with the resurrection! He believes that Jesus Christ being raised from death is the only way to have hope that goes beyond the grave. In this punchy and accessible book, Adrian helps us to look forward expectantly to a life of eternal future joy, united with God, and in this life, to experience the Holy Spirit and preach the good news in the power of the resurrection. I\u2019m thankful to Adrian for reorienting me to this essential ingredient of life and belief. You will be too.\u201d
