Experiencing God: Faith Narratives of Episcopalians
Ebook
Episcopalians are famous for their liturgy, music, and their thoughtful approach to faith and prayer. However, Episcopalians are less famous for their willingness to talk about their faith and their experience of God. In this volume, a group of leading Episcopalians share moments of deep spiritual intimacy. When did they sense the presence of God? How did they experience the presence of God? What is prayer like? How do they pray? What is it like to walk each day with Jesus? How seriously do they take the promptings of the Holy Spirit? How does the "transcendent" feel in their lives? How does the "transcendent" show up in their daily lives? This is a unique book that invites the reader to also start sharing their own sense of God with others.
“Ian Markham and Kimberly Dunn have brought together a beautiful comingling of voices in Experiencing God. This book captures glimpses at the true deep religion that dwells within our souls and is as sweet as honey and dark as pitch. Here lies a spiritual treasure of prayer, spoken and unspoken, that is like a pilgrim path for the reader to follow and discover God’s presence.”
—C. Andrew Doyle, author of Embodied Liturgy
“These spiritual testimonies are immediate, honest, and eloquent. The distinctive voices arouse our own desire to put our experience of faith into words that can be shared. I’m grateful to the authors for offering an invitation to conversation and communion.”
—Cynthia Briggs Kittredge, dean and president, Seminary of the Southwest
