Living Spiritual Rhythms Volume 1

Waiting for Light

Beschreibung

Gregory J. Laughery has put together a challenging blend of anecdotes, stories, poems, and prayers that call us to serious reflection and redemptive action. Neither a boring sermon, nor a surface-level feel-good list of devotions, Laughery takes us on a journey through a constellation of thoughts and emotions including joy and sadness, trust and suspicion, courage and fear, love and justice. Living Spiritual Rhythms develops a picture of life lived in community with God and others, opening up new directions for Christian spirituality.

Autor

Gregory J. Laughery (D.Th., University of Fribourg, Suisse) lives and writes in Switzerland. This book is the next exciting step of the journey from time, narrative, and memory, to imagination. Living Imagination. Who Am I & What is Real? is the culmination of several years of reflection on Imagination and how it has been perceived by philosophers, poets, and theologians. Laughery shows that many, especially Christians, have viewed imagination negatively. His book critiques this inadequate 'picture' and replaces it with a much more positive orientation. He writes: "When we lose the ability to understand that centaurs and dragons are more real than technology and mechanisms, we're in deep trouble. Impoverished imaginations destroy faith and meaning, whereas living imaginations promote them."
