The Awakening of Hope: Why We Practice a Common Faith

According to Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, faithful action is always inspired and sustained by common convictions - the basic truths that have sustained God’s people throughout every generation.

The Awakening of Hope re-presents Christian faith by beginning with stories of faithful witness and asking, Why? Why do Christians eat together? Why do we fast? Why would we rather die than kill? These are the questions that help us see why creation and the fall, covenant and community, ethics and evangelism matter.

By communicating the hope that Christianity offers through the discipline of seven ancient practices and exploring core truths, you will learn what it means to build community among believers by nurturing a faith that leads to action.
