— Robert Ellsberg, author of All Saints: Daily Reflections on Saints, Prophets, and Witnesses for Our Time
Into what a world we launch this book, like a frail ark in a mauling sea. Shall we proclaim Resurrection—even as creation is threatened with going under?Yes, "And morning came." Unequivocally and barely—birth, rebirth wins out over death. Thank you, Megan.
— Daniel Berrigan, author of Lamentations: From New York to Kabul and Beyond
McKenna sensitively unpacks the challenging and joyful promise at the heart of Christianity and lays out the ethical guidance it provides through its reminder of life through resurrection.
