Seasons of Grace: Reflections on the Church Year
Logos Editions are fully connected to your library and Bible study tools.
Overview
There is enormous tension between fully entering into the Church year and the pressures of society. We sometimes find ourselves walking a tightrope between what we think is the ideal of a holy life and the demands of our post-modern world. But as Donna Farley demonstrates in this work, the beauty of the Church seasons is that they teach us how to balance our life. The Christian life is a whole life, an expansive life, a life in Christ, who gives himself for the life of the world. This collection offers Farley’s own view from the tightrope. Her short yet thoughtful reflections help weave together the great feasts into the fabric of our lives.
