Download Amazing Grace: A Vocabulary of Faith AudioBook Free
When, more than twenty years ago, Kathleen Norris started attending her grandmother's small-town church on the Great Plains, she was a transplanted poet with more doubt than faith. Still, the strong pulls of tradition, genealogy, and community found her week after week at Sunday-morning services. In returning to church, Norris' greatest struggle was with the language of the Christian religion. She found she had to wrestle with it, grapple using its meaning and make it her own before she could embrace its blessings and grace.
Kathleen Norris can be an award-winning poet and the writer from the CLOISTER WALK and DAKOTA: A SPIRITUAL GEOGRAPHY. Her latest book of poetry is GIRLS IN CHURCH. She lives in South Dakota.
"...a book whose hospitality extends not just to Christians or religious seekers, but to anyone drawn with what its author celebrates as 'the living word'." (The New York Times)
