Life Lessons from a Bad Quaker: A Humble Stumble… di J. Brent Bill
"On quick observation, the Quaker lifestyle boasts peace, solitude, and simplicity, qualities that are attractive to any believer of any denomination or religion. Yet living a life of faith is not as simple as it may look. In fact, it's often characterized more by the stumbles than the grace...For anyone who is bad at being good, this is an invitation to a pilgrimage toward a more meaningful and satisfying life . . . one step or stumble at a time."
This book invites all people of faith to consider how our personal and communal faith practices in growing deeper spirituality should bring us to a fresh engagement with the needs of this world. This includes being active in promoting those values that align with our understanding of the gospel and standing against injustice, oppression, and evil inflicted on any of God’s children. Such activism, rooted in deep spirituality, may include being what Quaker civil rights activist Bayard Rustin called “angelic troublemakers.”… (altro)
I have had this book on my reading list for some time. I finally found the time to finish. I will be returning to Holy Silence frequently as a resource. I have a practical guide to remember to "Be still and know that I am God".
"...is at once simple, accessible and profound. It offers straightforward spiritual insights grounded in Quaker practice on how to live with integrity while seeking...to help heal ourselves and the world around us." (Book cover)
