Endorsements (5)
“This book is sturdy because it is made of sterner stuff than are most books, especially than are most religion books; that this book is about discipline; that this book is a map back to the ancient-future.”
“This book provides for the entire Church a reflective, personally-useful, and pastorally-directive manual for what needs to be involved for the person who wants to develop a spiritual rule of life.”
“This is a sturdy book.”
“The Sacred Way effectively links past and present, scholarship and humor, high church and low church into a practical guide that takes the Christian deeper into his or her own soul to meet with God. It welcomes those with a 30-minute quiet-time spirituality and bumper sticker theology into a larger world.”
“There is indeed new life arising from the compost of Christendom. Tony's book lets us see it, smell it, and touch it. The challenge with a book like this is neither to be overcome by the smell of the poop, nor stupified by the beauty of a flower.”
