Synopsis

A call for Christians to move past doctrinal tensions and denominational disagreements and into a deeper, more vibrant, beatitude-like faith rooted in sacred practices and intimate experiences with God.

When a myriad of tense conversations about ideological differences in the Church left him feeling spiritually empty, Niequist determined God must have a different vision for worship and community.

In his search, Aaron discovered that there was historical Christian precedent for enacting faith in a different way, an ancient and now future way of believing. He calls this third way "practice-based faith." 

This book is about loving one's faith tradition and, at the same time, following the call to something deeper and richer. By adopting some new spiritual practices, it is possible to learn to swim again with a renewed sense of vigor and divine purpose.

Goodreads review by Lori

I really need to read this, rather than listen to it, since it felt like I lost a lot from listening while driving or cleaning and not being able to highlight or take notes or go back and reread. Definitely recommend!......more

Goodreads review by Jon

The truth is, many of us who have grown up in the church have become uninterested in and uninspired by a weekly gathering that predictably consists of 4 songs, a set of announcements, and a 30 minute sermon, most of which you simply watch as an observer. Many feel like there must be more when it com......more
