Their exposition of key Bible passages provides concrete examples of how a life of prayer fuels social engagement and the work of justice. Phrases like "give us this day our daily bread" and "forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors" take on new meaning when applied to feeding the hungry or advocating for international debt relief.

If you hope to see God change society, you must be an ordinary radical who prays--and then is ready to become the answer to your own prayers.

<p style="margin-left: 0.5in;">
In an age where we might email a friend in Africa, skype a co-worker in Brazil, and</p>

teleconference with people in different time zones–all in one day–the sheer speed of life can be dizzying. Like children stumbling off a merry-go-round, says Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, we are grasping for something to anchor our lives in a sea of constant change.

<DIV> </div> <p style="text-indent: 0.5in;">In The Wisdom of Stability, Wilson-Hartgrove illuminates the biblical and monastic understanding of why staying in one place is both a virtue, and good for you. “For the Christian tradition,” he writes, “the heart’s true home is a life rooted in the love of God.” When we cultivate an inner stability of heart – by rooting ourselves in the places where we live, engaging the people we are with, and by the simple rhythms of tending to body and soul – true growth can happen. The Wisdom of Stability is a must-read for pastors, leaders, and anyone seeking an authentic path of Christian transformation. </p> </DIV>]]> 238189 3.89 98 23 2010 5485145 1556358776 9781556358777 0 <![CDATA[Building Up the Church: Live Experiments in Faith, Hope, and Love]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5485145.Building_Up_the_Church_Live_Experiments_in_Faith_Hope_and_Love 0.0 0 2376188 0.0 0 0 238189 3.89 98 23 2008
