"In Catherine Upchurch's Easter, Season of Realized Hope, we are once again challenged and comforted by her call to read, reflect, and act, especially during the Easter season. Upchurch invites us to encounter the risen Christ in Scripture, reflecting on what our response would have been and what it is today. We are comforted by the focus on 'realized hope' and fortified by the assurance that Jesus lives in us today."
