A Wakeful Faith: Spiritual Practice in the Real World

Rating:
Summary: Weekday Spirituality
Review: A Wakeful Faith offers a fascinating approach to the daily practices of Christian spirituality. J. Marshall Jenkins makes the salient point that spiritual practices seem right and easy and appropriate on a Sunday, but much less so on a work day or a day in which we face all the stresses of life. He describes that typical weekday and points to ways in which spiritual practices undergird all that may happen. Jenkins is well aware of biblical stories and uses these throughout the book. He is also a psychologist who uses psychological insights to serve the larger purposes of Christian spiritual practice. And he has a nice sense of humor. A good read!

Review: This is an amazing, eye-opening book. I have the pleasure of knowing J. Marshall Jenkins in real life, and he practices what he preaches. This book encourages the reader to seek God in all areas of our lives.
