Rather, the author addresses the question \"Why would a Christian who regularly attends church, or those currently not practicing their faith, integrate contemplative practices into their daily lives?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe term religion essentially means \"realignment,\" but what should be realigned in order to bring a new perspective into our lives? Does organized religion help to transform and thus realign parishioners into the people God wants them to be?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author suggests that churches today need to do more to bring about this transformation, and attempts to develop a logical argument for progressing beyond the religious experiences most of us grew up with. This progression should result in a more complete understanding of the Gospel message and illustrate how this message might apply in today's ever-changing world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Covenant Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/03\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781645593911\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.20d","brand":"Kenneth J.
