Paul Gutacker: Practicing Life Together, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

You don't have to go it alone after college--nor should you!

This book invites emerging adults to consider participating in a common rule that will guide their growth and cultivate genuine community. A rule of life is like a trellis. It's a standard, offering guidance and encouraging growth in the right direction. It's a way of living intentionally--of committing to spiritual disciplines that are too important to leave up to our day-to-day whims.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer discerned that Christian community is "not an ideal which we must realize; it is rather a reality created by God in Christ in which we may participate." Christians don't have to go it alone during the formative years after college--it's possible to practice life together. Gutacker introduces practices we can take up with others--communal prayer, weekly dinners, studying together, and Sabbath--in the hope that these can become life-shaping habits.
