"The best association for the word sacramental is Jesus. Yes, Jesus--the wonderful grace of Jesus; the glory of Jesus, His face shining like the sun; the life of Jesus, overflowing like a thousand geysers into our world." Could the sacramental life offer God's life-giving response to our brokenness, chaos, and loneliness? If the idea that Christianity could be "sacramental" sounds strange to you--even scandalous--you're not alone. With pastoral warmth, author and Anglican (ACNA) Priest Aaron Damiani offers an engaging glimpse into the ancient practices of the historic church--into rhythms that quietly nourish us with the life of Jesus. You'll find: The meaning of the Lord's Supper, baptism, liturgical prayer, and the church calendarHow to drink deeply from God's graceHow faith can flourish and be fruitful in harsh conditionsHow to see a fallen, broken world crammed with the beauty and glory of God!While secular life erodes our humanity, practicing the sacramental life shows us how to recover it. Enter and experience an enchanted Earth Filled with Heaven.
