When "Spiritual but Not Religious" Is Not Enough: Seeing God in Surprising Places, Even the Church
Autor Lillian Danielen Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 ian 2014
Minister
and
celebrated
author
Lillian
Daniel
gives
a
new
spin
on
church
with
stories
of
what
a
life
of
faith
can
really
be:
weird,
wondrous,
and
well
worth
trying.
From
a
rock-and-roller
sexton
to
a
BB
gun-toting
grandma,
a
church
service
attended
by
animals
to
a
group
of
unlikely
theologians
at
Sing
Sing,
Daniel
shows
us
a
portrait
of
church
that
is
flawed,
fallible--and
deeply
faithful.
With
poignant
reflections
and
sly
wit,
Daniel
invites
all
of
us
to
step
out
of
ourselves,
dare
to
become
a
community,
and
encounter
a
God
greater
than
we
could
ever
invent.
Humorous
and
sincere,
this
is
a
book
about
people
finding
God
in
the
most
unexpected
of
places:
prisons,
airports,
yoga
classes,
committee
meetings,
and,
strangest
of
all,
right
there
in
church.

Recenzii
"In
short,
zingy
anecdotes,
Daniel
strikes
out
at
what
she
sees
at
the
spiritual
laziness
of
those
who
opt
for
"personal
faith"
outside
of
a
church
community.
Controversial
but
powerfully

review
"Marvelously gritty wit...an impassioned and winning case for why church, community, and formal religious traditions are so integral to creating a fulfilling life....her ideas are thought provoking and infectious."—Booklist, Starred Review
"Intelligent, inviting and nurturing, these essays...offer a rich banquet for pastors, lifelong congregants, disaffected Christians, and confused seekers alike."—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
"This is the wonderful, essential Lillian Daniel at her best-earthy, perceptive, devout, tough-minded, angry and laugh-out-loud funny, all in one. Daniel's easygoing style is just right for revealing her great gift of finding God in the everyday. Sometimes she is biting. Sometimes she is tender and often what she says is stunningly beautiful."—Bob Abernethy, Executive Editor, Religion & Ethics Newsweekly, PBS
"Here is why I love Lillian Daniel's writing: it is honest; it is funny; and it teaches me about Mary and Martha via a yoga class. The church she describes is the place that has sustained my spiritual life when my own interior sense of God's presence has faltered; and it is the place that, as often as not, is where I am sitting when my sense of God's presence reignites."—Lauren F. Winner, author of Girl Meets God and Still: Notes on a Mid-Faith Crisis
"You read some things because you have to or need to or ought to. You'll read Lillian Daniel for the pure pleasure of pitch-perfect writing-she has the rare talent of a "natural." Along the way, you'll discover enrichment and insight that you needed and wanted ... Lillian cooks up a delicious and nourishing feast for readers. Don't miss it!"—Brian McLaren, author of Why Did Jesus, Moses, the Buddha, and Mohammed Cross the Road? (brianmclaren.net)
"Lillian is as fed up with bad religion as anyone else, but she's also careful to celebrate good religion and good spirituality that brings people to life and makes the world a better place. May her book invite us to stop complaining about the Church we've experienced and work on becoming the Church we dream of."—Shane Claiborne, author and activist, facebook.com/ShaneClaiborne
