Rubble to Resurrection brings together previously untold stories of the churches’ response in the earthquakes which struck the greater Christchurch region between September 2010 and December 2011 – one of the largest natural disasters in New Zealand history. How did the churches themselves fare? How did the ordinary folk in the pews reach out to their suffering neighbours? How can lessons from this experience be of benefit in the future?
“So many times in the wake of suffering, the Christian Church - the body of Christ - faithfully responds with comfort and practical help. I saw that in person in Christchurch the year after the quake, and thank Melissa Parsons for honouring those who responded in the footsteps of the One for whom the city was named.” - Philip Yancey, Award-winning Christian writer, and author of “Where is God When It Hurts?”
