Called “one of those writers who can do anything” by Stacy Schiff in the New York Times Book Review, Parini—a lifelong Christian who has at times wavered and questioned his beliefs—recounts his own efforts to follow Jesus’s example, examines the contours of Christian thinking, and describes the solace and structure one can find in the rhythms of the church calendar. Parini’s refreshingly undogmatic approach to Christian thinking incorporates teachings from other religions, as well as from poets and other writers who have helped Parini along his path to understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beacon Press, 2018","offers":[{"title":"The Way of Jesus Living a Spiritual and Ethical Life \/ Very Good","offer_id":55759282503972,"sku":"9780807047248VG","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/public_dce89b0b-4f9f-4f09-88a7-ab2d498814c2.jpg?v=1784393854","url":"https:\/\/brookingsbooks.com\/products\/9780807047248","provider":"Brookings Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
