This gem of a book is a training manual for those of us who are serious about heeding the prophet Micahs call to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God."-Rev. Gregory Bentley, Co-Moderator of the 224th General Assembly of the PC(USA)"Looking Inward, Living Outward is a transformative book that delves deep into the intersection of contemplative spirituality and social transformation. With practical wisdom, Wolpert navigates us through a series of contemplative practices designed to integrate our sense of inner calling and outwardaction. By addressing fundamental questions about deepening spiritual practices, the book offers a holistic approach to spiritual growth and societal change. Highly recommend it!"-Rev. Cameron Trimble, CEO of Convergence, Partner at FutureWomenX, and author of Searching for the Sacred"Like his spiritual guide, Jesus of Nazareth preaching his sermon on the mount, Wolpert teaches us how to participate with Gods transforming work in the world. To do so requires both contemplative retreat and loving action. As the physical body must breathe in and out to stay alive; our spirits must look inward and live outward. Wolpert describes this sacred rhythm that keeps our spirits breathing with vitality as we serve Gods kin-dom . . . on earth as it is in heaven."-Frank Rogers Jr., Muriel Bernice Roberts Professor of Spiritual Formation and Narrative Pedagogy and Co-Director of the Center for Engaged Compassion, Claremont Theological Seminary; author of Practicing Compassion and Cradled in the Arms of Compassion: A Spiritual Journey from Trauma to Recovery Details ISBN0835820513 Author Daniel Wolpert Pages 192 Publisher Upper Room Books Year 2024 ISBN-13 9780835820516 Format Paperback Publication Date 2024-06-01 Imprint Upper Room Books Subtitle The Spiritual Practice of Social Transformation Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
