Practicing Our Faith: A Way of Life for a Searching People, 2nd Edition

NOW WITH UPDATED AND EXPANDED MATERIAL! PRACTICING OUR FAITH: A Way of Life for a Searching People, 2^nd edition (Jossey-Bass, a Wiley imprint; January 2009; $19.95; Paper; ISBN: 978-0-470-48411-1), the best-selling book that launched Jossey-Bass’s religion publishing program, is now being released in a new edition after more than a decade of accolades. Laypersons, leaders, denominations, and study groups have resonated with the book’s twelve central spiritual practices that define what it means to live out Christian faith: honoring the body, hospitality, household economics, saying yes and saying no, keeping Sabbath, testimony, discernment, shaping communities, forgiveness, healing, dying well, and singing our lives to God.

 NEW READING GUIDE! Just in time for Lenten study groups, a new introduction, conclusion, and reading guide help readers meditate on the practices discussed in the book and how they intersect with other Christian practices such as prayer, worship, and Bible study. For those longing to translate lofty theology into ordinary day-to-day living, PRACTICING OUR FAITH shows them the way.
