I AM RISEN

    The  preface  to  this book begins with a question. Who needed the most faith  the first Easter morning?
    Magdalene? Peter? Thomas? Mary? John? What about Jesus?

    We often do not think that Jesus had or needed faith.  But, what if Jesus had not believed? If Jesus had
    not been able to say "I am risen" no one else would have been able to experience his resurrection.

    I Am Risen is a series of homilies and reflections of the author and of others on the meaning  of  life and
    death. It attempts to look at our own attitude toward life, and toward death. If I cannot experience  forms
    of resurrection in my own life, it will be difficult for me to believe in the Resurrection of Jesus. If I cannot
    look  at  my  own  life  and  say I AM RISEN, then belief in the resurrection of Jesus will not have a major
    impact on my life.

    I Am Risen  is  a  testimonial that faith is experiential.   We need to live it out in our own lives.   With each
    defeat, each setback, each death of a loved one, we experience our own death. With every new form of
    death, new life emerges.   It  attempts  to express our belief in the resurrection of Jesus simply because
    we have experienced and understood death and resurrection in our own lives.
