Loosely Christian

Answering God's Invitation to a Creative Faith for Today

by Bruce Epperly

Like all living things, faith should be fluid, constantly changing and growing. Being faithful to Jesus means becoming “loosely Christian”—honoring the past in light of God's continuing invitation to creative transformation. In this mind- and heart-expanding book, Bruce Epperly points the way to an earth-affirming, holistic, and mystical Christianity. He paints a vision of a global and growing faith, then shows us how to live it with spiritual practices that help us experience the holiness of everyday life and inspire us to become God's companions in healing the world. | read more»
