Böcker av Holly Sprink

Listen to the landscape of your life. Do we really know the places in which we live? Do we recognize the feel of them? Are we acquainted with their curves? Are we on familiar terms with their people? Do we see the ways God might use us to extend his right-making love in our own neighborhoods and cultures? Are we letting Christ teach us his kingdom worldview and applying it specifically in our own contexts? Exploring where we are and why that matters to God is an incredible, ongoing process. If we are present and attentive, God creatively and continuously widens our view of the world, whether we live in the Amazon or in our own hometown. Join Holly Sprink as she reflects on her places and explores the wider, ongoing conversation between faith and place.

What have you noticed today? A life of faith is not something we float through on a cloud unaware; it is the mindful process of letting God change us, letting him develop our spiritual sensitivity toward the things of God and his kingdom. In Faith Postures, Holly Sprink describes a two-fold journey-first, we must notice the kingdom of God. How is God's kingdom arriving in our world right now? Are we proclaiming the difference it makes in our everyday lives? Second, we must allow Christ to realign us, to adjust and transform us into living examples of his wholeness. We take up residence in this kingdom by letting him redirect our attitudes toward life and health in him. Sprink guides readers through a growing awareness of God's desire for relationship and of the emotional and spiritual postures that enable us to learn to be still, to listen, and to be mindful-not only of ourselves, but of the One outside ourselves. In developing the art of noticing and practicing the postures of our faith in God, we begin to realize the spiritual health we yearn for.
