publicity@paracletepress.comYoung Catholic author explains to the Millennial Generation how faith requires practice
A Gen-X'er himself, Jeremy Langford knows what it means to struggle with faith, and also how to practice it, daily. For people of any generation wanting to take their spirituality to the next level, Langford has created this new collection of practices ancient, new, and innovative. SEEDS OF FAITH: Practices to Grow a Healthy Spiritual Life (Paraclete Press / March 2008 / Original trade paperback / 176 pages / $15.95) compels Christians who desire to better recognize God at work in their lives, to practice.
Harkening back to Thomas Merton's New Seeds of Contemplation, Langford offers valuable help to those of us who seek to deepen spiritual roots, offering lessons and wisdom on:
* Why Believe? The Practice of Doubt
* Awareness: The Practice of Seeking
* Loneliness vs. Being Alone: The Practice of Solitude
* When Did We See You Hungry? The Practice of Mercy
and many others
James Martin, S.J., author of My Life with the Saints, says: "Jeremy Langford's multiple talents-as a superb writer, a loving father, a dedicated worker, and an ardent believer-combine to make his new book perfect for anyone seeking to lead a faith-filled life in the real world. Through an artful use of the Christian tradition, insights from the spiritual masters, and compelling real-life examples, Langford shows seekers and believers alike how God can be found in all things, and how the ordinary events in our lives can be places of extraordinary grace."
Richard J. Foster, Quaker minister and bestselling author, says: "Seeds of Faith covers an astonishing variety of spiritual practices, and does so in such a joy-filled and inviting way that we instantly feel at home."
Emilie Griffin, author Small Surrenders, says: "What a joy. . . Seeds of Faith is a glorious and illuminating contribution to the new literature of spiritual life for earnest Pilgrims. I will read it again and again."
Jeremy Langford received his B.A. from the University of Notre Dame and his M.A. in theology from Catholic Theological Union, and is the director of communications for the Chicago Province of the Jesuits in the U.S.
