Practicing our faith - Dorothy C. Bass

A sourcebook for Christians who search out meaningful ways to ?keep the faith? in their everyday lives.In recent years a wave of thoughtful Christians have looked to Eastern traditions and New Age ideas to find spiritual nourishment, unaware of the riches within their own faith. For these seekers, a weekly visit to their local church is simply not enough. They search for ways to bring their faith into daily life.Dorothy Bass and the other contributors to this multidenominational collection show these Christians how they can shape a faithful way of life during our challenging times at work, at home, and in our communities. Bass and her cowriters explore the stuff of everyday life, placing ordinary activities in a biblical and historical context and discovering in them opportunities to realize Gods active presence in life. Readers from many denominations, both Protestant and Roman Catholic, will find inspiring essays on hospitality, keeping Sabbath, community governance, dying well, and forgiveness.
