Practicing the Way of Jesus

<P>Take a casual survey of how people practice their faith and you might reasonably conclude that Jesus spent his life going door to door offering private lessons complete with chalkboard and pop quizzes. We think about God in the comfort of our own minds in isolation from one another; meanwhile the world waits for a people to practice the way of Jesus together.Mark Scandrette contends that Jesus has in mind something more lively for us: not a classroom so much as a kingdom where our formation takes place not only in our heads but in our hearts and our bodies and in the company of one another in a way that blesses the world we've been entrusted with. In <I>Practicing the Way of Jesus</I> Scandrette draws from his experience as a spiritual director and leader of an intentional community as well as the best contemporary thinking on kingdom spirituality to paint a picture of life lived together in the way of Jesus--which is another way of saying life lived to the full.</P>
