Practice By Practice

Who said practice makes perfect? Know any practicing Christians very well? Like learning to play piano, developing a sturdy faith takes timeand deliberate, consistent practice. It involves small things. Commonplace, home things. Mistakes and muddles, even. For faith works itself out, and God teaches his best lessons, not in the church sanctuary or on short-term mission trips, but in the midst of the everyday business-as-usual practices that round out the rest of our time. This book of short writings, both reverent and irreverent, will teach you what to do when confronted by two charging Rottweilers. What not to do during an earthquake. And why you should fish that watch out of your toiletor watch that fish flush down your toilet. It will also remind you of important practices thatthough not guaranteed to bring perfectionwill strengthen your Christian faith against the crushing pressure of a faithless, dizzy world.
