The phrase ´?¢I´?¢m spiritual but not religious´?¢ has become a clich´?¢. It´?¢s easy to find God amid the convenience of self-styled spirituality ´?¢ but is it possible (and more worthwhile) to search for God through religion?
Minister and celebrated author Lillian Daniel gives a new spin on church with stories of what a life of faith can really be: weird, wondrous and well worth trying. From a rock-and-roller sexton to a BB gun-toting grandma, a church service attended by animals to a group of unlikely theologians at Sing Sing, Lillian Daniel shows us a portrait of church that is flawed, fallible ´?¢ and deeply faithful. With poignant reflections and sly wit, Lillian invites all of us to step out of ourselves, dare to become a community and encounter a God greater than we could ever invent.
Humorous and sincere, this is a book about people finding God in the most unexpected of places: prisons, airports, yoga classes, committee meetings and, strangest of all, right there in church.
