Receiving This Life offers devotional reflections, prayers, practices, and liturgies that seek the meaning inside experiences and create ways to embrace and rehearse meaning. Kara K. Root empowers the reader to embrace life as sacred and to practice receiving life as a gift by attuning to meaning in the ordinary.
This book is for all pastors and church leaders, as well as for those disillusioned with Christianity and the church and longing for something more real and honest. The Deepest Belonging is a call not to resist but to embrace our vulnerability. As a move away from religion seeking security, protection, and influence, this story invites individuals and congregations to return bravely to the core of our humanity: our belonging to God and one another.
