City of God

Autor Sara Miles
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 mar 2014
City of God is a moving, prophetic account of the divine in daily life. It tells the story of one day in Sara's ministry: Ash Wednesday, when she carries ashes out of church to public places. Sara explores the profound meanings set loose by touching the forehead of a stranger and paints an unforgettable picture of the search for God all around us.

Recenzii

"Joyous and touching...An intriguing read, Miles' account will resonate most with those who live in and love the inner city."—Kirkus Reviews
"An informative, luminous memoir of faith and community."—Booklist
"This is a convincing Lenten adventure into a dynamic Christian view of faith in the streets, of repentance and blessing, life and death, in the cracked sidewalks and fractured realities of the city of God."—Publishers Weekly
"CITY OF GOD is another gorgeous, gritty, profound work of art from Sara Miles...I love everything she writes, but there is something special about this new book."—Anne Lamott
"Once again Sara Miles has given us a great read about...how every moment of our lives is liturgy, and each and every liturgy we do is for the whole world which God loves so dearly."—Nedi Rivera, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Eastern Oregon
"Sara is so inspiring...Where most aim for the clouds, she's focused on the dirt and sweat and blood and struggle of this world and the presence here in it with us-which is, of course, the best news of all."—Rob Bell, author of What We Talk About When We Talk About God and Love Wins
"Gorgeously written,City of Godtakes Jesus from the walls of the church to the streets of the city, showing us that where two or more Anglicans or prostitutes or head-injured junkies or housewives are gathered, He is with us. I cannot recommend this book highly enough."—Nadia Bolz-Weber, New York Times bestselling author of Pastrix
"There's a refreshing honesty toCity of God; her actions on Ash Wednesday take on greater significance in light of her questioning."—Los Angeles Review of Books
"Sara Miles is a spiritual pioneer...Now she has taken us into the streets of the city where the very hope of heaven intersects the very the heart of life, where we might discover anew that God is truly with us."—Bishop Michael Curry, Episcopal Diocese of North Carolin
"Rarely, if ever, have I heard or read or experienced a more poignant or persuasive presentation of thecityas metaphor and prototype for the Kingdom of God. Miles's panorama is lived theology, and its result is a kind of holy magnificence."—Phyllis Tickle, author, The Great Emergence
"Sara Miles gives us much more than a beautiful love song to her neighborhood...she offers us a glimpse of how living Christian faith can re-enchant the world."—James Alison, Catholic priest, theologian, and author
