Elizabeth O'Connor was on the staff of the Church of the Saviour in Washington, DC, and a chief interpreter of the Church to the larger world. This book was written 3 years after the Church decided to reorganize into a a network of smaller faith groups, so it was a time when folks in these groups were still struggling with this change.
Originally started as letters to these new churches, O'Connor eventually realized that it would be useful to a much larger audience of Christians. The topics include having time for reflection, the use of money, keeping a journal, various dimensions of our lives, and lessons learned from a mission group's work with troubled children in the wilderness.
There is much wisdom here for Christians seeking to be serious disciples of Jesus, and learning both as individuals and groups of the faithful the path of faithfulness.
