Encountering the Risen Jesus

A series of reflections that weave together the accounts of different characters who encounter the risen Jesus, from that first Easter morning through to the day of Pentecost.

It wasn’t a one-off encounter with the risen Jesus that changed the disciples; it was a series of meetings and conversations over 40 days that transformed their lives.

This book takes us on a journey with the disciples - hearing the story of the resurrection as it might have been told by those original witnesses, and giving an insight into how the cumulative effect of Jesus’ appearances prepared the disciples for the coming of the Holy Spirit.
