 Lynne covers six spiritual practices that congregations and small groups can engage in together:
- thankfulness
- fasting
- contemplative prayer
- lectio divina
- hospitality
- Sabbath keeping
Marva Dawn says...
"Baab exuberantly, and realistically, displays the way spiritual practices can strengthen groups or whole congregations of Christians. Her illustrations are convincing; her experiences, vast and confirming; her explanations, constructive. I heartily urge every Christian to read this book, significant as it is, because we who respond to the Trinity with practices need to learn to live more as a community!" Marva Dawn, Theologian, author of Keeping the Sabbath Wholly and Unfettered Hope

Lena Johansson listens well. In her role as Director of Outreach at View Ridge Church in Seattle, Lena hears things and makes connections. After the killing of an abortion nurse, Lena's ability to listen puts her right in the middle of the murder investigation. Who is Lena listening to? A group of thirty-somethings who had been in a high school youth group together. Their stories weave a tapestry that Lena is able to untangle with perception and insight.
