Download A Dynamic God: Living an Unconventional Catholic Faith AudioBook Free
When Nancy Mairs published her spiritual autobiography Typical Time, Kathleen Norris greeted it in the brand new York Times Reserve Review as “a exceptional accomplishment,” calling Mairs “a relentlessly physical writer, as fiercely committed to her art as to her spiritual development.” A Dynamic God is Mairs’s return to the subjects of faith and spirituality—a passionately individual reserve of meditations on the life of employed faith.
“A Dynamic God owes its power to Mairs’s sensitivity, her focus on detail, her honesty about herself. Wheelchair-bound with multiple sclerosis, she is increasingly struggling to take care of herself. Throughout the essays here, she details on these and other issues to get at not just the root base of her progressive Catholicism—Dorothy Day is a popular role model—however the nature of faith in a global where it often doesn’t seem to be to be rewarded, where ‘the majority of us face, from time to time, more than we are designed for.’” —David Ulin, LA Times
“An eloquent and witty consideration of a spiritual quest to find the holy within and without. It advises a way back again to the sacred for Catholics of all kinds.” —Margaret Regan, Tucson Weekly
“For those fighting contradictions between sorted out faith and their personal values, this testament to living an intimately unique brand of Catholicism will be welcome reading.” —Booklist
“Mairs can be an extraordinary woman . . . in a position to write with enthusiasm in regards to a God that others in her position would have walked from in the past . . . Her self-deprecating humor is wonderful—similar to the writing of Anne Lamott, although Mairs manages to make her own style.” —Web publishers Weekly
“Early on in the reserve, the author areas that her intent is to toss wide the door for the Holy Someone to enter. She has done that plus much more.” —Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
