Today's secular media tends to label Catholic culture as a throwback, an anachronism in the modern world, out of step and out of touch. Whether you are single or married, with children or without, consecrated or laity, new to the faith or a long-time parishioner, Living the Gospel as a Way of Life will show you how building a Catholic culture is both possible and relevant for today. This marvelous, timely book provides practical wisdom for those who yearn to build or rebuild a Catholic, Christian culture in their homes, religious orders, or parishes. Living the Gospel as a Way of Life leads one to reflect seriously on the very personal call to live as a disciple of Jesus and to do so within a relationship with others. At the heart of this book is the positive challenge to live the Gospel as a way of life. We are called to reflect on the question, what is the proper orientation of a person's life if we are focused rightly on loving God first, by living in relationship with others? While honestly facing the truth that life takes a toll on all of us, when we have learned in a positive way to live a "repentant life," we walk in the footsteps of Moses, the Prophets, John the Baptist and Jesus Christ. In this book you will find helpful principles for developing a spiritual culture in your home and wherever you find yourself, whether with one person or within the context of community life
JIM JONES and his wife Carol were part of the original group at Notre Dame University that received the initial outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the late 1960s. From that momentous event, members of the group went out to bring what became the charismatic renewal to people throughout America and other parts of the world. When the company that Jim worked for moved its corporate headquarters to Phoenix, Arizona in 1969, Jim, Carol, and their seven children followed along at the company's request. In doing so, they also brought their newfound experience of the Baptism in the Spirit to people throughout the Southwest. Thus began a long journey to build what is now the City of the Lord. GABRIEL MEYER is one of the founders of City of the Lord, Los Angeles, and helped pioneer the community's outreach in Jerusalem in the mid-1980s. He is also an award-winning foreign correspondent for the National Catholic Register, who has lived in and reported from the Middle East, the Balkans, and East Africa. He was especially noted for his coverage of the first Palestinian intifada and the Bosnian civil war. His reporter's diary on the Sudanese civil war, War and Faith in Sudan, won ForeWord Magazine's Book of the Year Award for essays in 2006. He has published poetry and two novels, most recently, the poetic cycle A Map of Shadows for Tebot Bach Press. He has also completed a large-scale "biography" of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem entitled The Testimony of Stones. He currently serves as Executive Director for the Southern California Ecumenical Council.
