His death gave us life...Forever.-Our Need to Live Forever-Our Need to Act Our Nature-Our Need for Adoption as Sons and Daughters-Our Need to Love as Christ Loved us-Our Need to Make All Things New This book is an Internet retreat in journal format for your reflections on my reflections about the Resurrection of Christ from the dead. www.thecenterforcontemplativepractice.org
