The Church in an Age of Secular Mysticisms

Christian Living

“Root’s final book of the Ministry in a Secular Age series is like a good farewell speech: full of reflective storytelling storytelling and festive comments on the past—here in the form of memoirs. Most importantly, the book passes on a legacy: the mystery of how a theology of the cross paradoxically offers a path for transformation of the self. At the end of his secular pilgrimage, Root becomes a mystical guide, pointing passionately at how transcendence may be found in the receptive life—a life of passive surrender and confession.”
