About This Item
G K Hall & Co. Good+. 1999. Paperback. 0783802986 . Ex-Library; 25 oz.; 502 pages; Good+ PB Large Print Ex Library w/library markings o/w nice clean/tight condition. Struggling with her return to the Christian church after many years away, Kathleen Norris found it was the language of Christianity that most distanced her from faith. Words like "judgment," "faith," "dogma," "salvation," "sinner"even "Christ"formed what she called her "scary vocabulary," words that had become so codified or abstract that their meanings were all but impenetrable. She found she had to wrestle with them and make them her own before they could confer their blessings and their grace. Blending history, theology, storytelling, etymology, and memoir, Norris uses these words as a starting point for reflection, and offers a moving account of her own gradual conversion. .
