What Is Your Practice?
What Is Your Practice?
The goal is to help readers to strengthen their relationship with the
Holy. Sixteen chapters present a variety of foundational Christian
ascetical practices, translated into contemporary idiom. Instead of
relying on imperatives and fixed answers, the intent is to attract
readers to experiment with and commit to sustained practices enabling
them to live faithfully with important questions during unsettled times.
Readers are encouraged not to adopt all the suggested practices at
once, but rather to be acquainted with a menu of choices appropriate for
spiritual nurture for differing temperaments and at different periods
within a lifetime. Questions at the end of each chapter make the book
suitable for parish groups, as well as for individual reading.
Many
of the classic books on spiritual disciplines are outdated, both in
language and approach, yet our churches are full of people who would
like to be more serious about the practice of their faith without having
to invest huge amounts of time. This book’s approach to spiritual
practice focuses on opportunities available within the normal patterns
of everyday activity, and is written both informatively and
inspirationally. A practice is most effective when it becomes a habit or
disposition, and thus is not just a matter of adding or changing
various activities throughout the week or year, but is more a matter of
how we live day to day.Norvene Vest;Liz Forney;
