Life Lessons From a Bad Quaker
J. Brent BillPaperback 2015-12-15
Publisher Description
On quick observation, the Quaker lifestyle boasts peace, solitude, and simplicity--qualities that are attractive to any believer of any denomination or religion. Yet living a life of faith is not as simple as it may look. In fact, it's often characterized more by the stumbles than the grace.
"When someone asks me what kind of Christian I am," says Quaker author J. Brent Bill, "I say I'm a bad one. I've got the belief part down pretty well, I think. It's in the practice of my belief in everyday life where I often miss the mark." In Life Lessons from a Bad Quaker, a self-professed non-expert on faith invites readers on a joyful exploration of the faith journey--perfection not required. With whimsy, humor, and wisdom, Bill shows readers how to put faith into practice to achieve a life that is soulfully still yet active, simple yet satisfying, peaceful yet strong.
For anyone who is bad at being good, this is an invitation to a pilgrimage toward a more meaningful and satisfying life ... one step--or stumble--at a time.
