Practicing Resurrection
An Embodied Pilgrimage for the Easter Season
by Christine Valters Paintner
Easter isn't just one Sunday--it's a fifty-day season of renewal.
In Practicing Resurrection, beloved writer and retreat leader Christine Valters Paintner invites you to embrace this sacred stretch of time as a pilgrimage of transformation. Rather than rushing past Easter after a single day of celebration, this book calls you to linger in its mystery and let it shape your life.
Through weekly reflections on the Gospel stories of resurrection, Paintner opens doorways into themes like standing in liminal space, honoring wounds, breathing inspiration, and tasting abundance. Each chapter is paired with simple yet profound practices--lectio divina, breath prayer, visio divina, embodied movement--that help you slow down, listen deeply, and awaken to the holy shimmering in ordinary moments.
This lyrical and practical guide is for seekers longing for both beauty and clarity: those who yearn for poetry and presence, yet also want tangible steps to nurture their spiritual life. Practicing Resurrection reminds us that resurrection is not a distant promise but a living energy--one that calls us to joy, courage, and love in the midst of a complex world.
Enter this season with open hands, and discover the home that has always been waiting within you. Let these fifty days become a journey of renewal, a time to cultivate hope, savor beauty, and live into the radiant truth that new life is always possible.
