Reflections on the Journey of Faith

Description

In a world not attuned to waiting and that frequently desires instant answers and achievement, it is important sometimes to stop and reflect on the journey we have embarked upon. And life is a journey. The life of faith is a journey, and it is one that we share with so many others. That is important when we think of the journey as one that includes both gift and calling, challenge and encouragement. It is obviously a two-way engagement. As in the first volume, the reflections in this book broadly follow the Christian year and are designed to encourage and challenge readers in their shared faith journey. It is based on the conviction that where faith and life intersect, God is to be found, and we are called to reflect the divine image.
