Unearthing My Religion
Description
Religious talk quickly degenerates into insider talk, but what if we turned it back out?
Episcopal Bishop Mary Gray-Reeves takes six words related to Christian faith and translates them so they speak more broadly to those who proclaim themselves "spiritual but not religious." Tying together Jesus' parables and life today, this engaging title promises to help non-Christians explore faith and spiritual practice and train Christians to speak clearly about the things that matter most.
