Download Keeping Place: Reflections on the Meaning of Home AudioBook Free
To be human being is to miss home. Home is our most important human being longing. And for many of us homesickness is a nagging place of grief. This booklet links that desire and disappointment with the storyline of the Bible, assisting us to see that there surely is a homemaking God with huge arms of pleasant - and a chapel commissioned with this same work. "Many of us seem to be to be recovering the sacred, if common, beauty of place," writes publisher Jen Pollock Michel. "Perhaps we're reading along with Wendell Berry, dropping deeply in love with Berry's small-town barber and Jayber Crow's small-town life...Or possibly we're simply reading our Bibles better, obtaining that while we might desire to flatten Scripture to serve our didactic purposes, it increases up in flesh and sinew, muscle and bone: God's holy tale is written in the lives of folks and their places." Including a five-session discourse guide, Keeping Place offers hope to the wanderer, help to the stranded, and a new perspective of what this means to live today with our longings for eternal home.
