Reviews
"This much-anticipated update of Your Faith, Your Life is unique in its combination of liturgical faithfulness, heartfelt spirituality, and adaptability to our varied learning communities. I've used it as a foundational text for adult formation for years, both as a diocesan educator and a parish priest, and continue to appreciate it as a resource for both learning and practicing the Christian and Episcopal faith in community."
The Rev. Canon Julia McCray-Goldsmith, Canon for Cathedral Life, Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Portland, Oregon
