Prepare The Way: Resurrection
A Seven-Week Preparation for the Feast of the Risen Christ
By Brian Metzger
What if the Resurrection is not merely an event to be remembered-but a reality to be entered?
In Prepare The Way: Resurrection, Brian Metzger invites readers into a profound re-awakening of the central mystery of the Christian faith. Drawing from Scripture, the liturgical calendar, early Christian mysticism, and lived contemplative experience, this book offers a seven-week journey into the Resurrection-not as a doctrine alone, but as a transforming way of life.
Beginning at the waters of Christ's Baptism and moving through the Cross, the Psalms, and the ascent into heavenly life, Prepare The Way: Resurrection reveals how the Resurrection is woven into the very fabric of creation. The risen Christ is not confined to the empty tomb; He fills everything in every way-the body, the heart, the Church, and the cosmos itself.
This book gently restores what the early Church understood instinctively: that time itself is sacramental, that the calendar is a gift, and that Easter is not a single day but a lived rhythm. Through meditative teaching, prayerful reflection, and rich biblical imagery, readers are invited to rediscover their identity as participants in the Resurrection-not striving toward life, but living from it.
Written for seekers, contemplatives, pastors, and anyone longing for a faith that feels alive, Prepare The Way: Resurrection is both deeply theological and profoundly accessible. It forms the central volume in a trilogy that traces the great movements of the Christian mystery-from The Nativity to the Resurrection, to Pentecost, revealing a God who continually re-enchants the world from the inside out.
This is not a book about escaping the world.
It is an invitation to see the world transfigured.
Christ is risen and everything is changed.
