The fifth and last volume of Peterson's spiritual theology, published by Eerdmans in 2010. Its subject is growing up in Christ, and its text is Paul's letter to the Ephesians, which Peterson reads as a description of the mature Christian life as it is lived in the church, the place where growing up happens. The title is from Wendell Berry's poem Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front, which ends with the words practice resurrection. It completes the series begun with Christ Plays in Ten Thousand Places in 2005.
