—The Rt. Rev. John McKee Sloan, 11th Bishop of Alabama
• Reflections follow the practices of The Way of Love—Turn, Learn, Pray, Worship, Bless, Go, Rest • Each devotion includes a passage of scripture, a story, and reflection questions • Perfect during Lent or any time of year "Living the Way of Love” offers forty brief reflections about the seven Jesus-centered practices identified by Presiding Bishop Michael Curry in “The Way of Love” initiative. Sullivan tells stories from her own and others’ experiences as a starting point for discussion about how to seek and find a deeper connection to God. Rotating through each practice so that each is covered once a week, going deeper into the practice throughout the forty days, each reflection ends with questions designed to spur further discussion and assist readers in making the practices their own. Perfect for using as a Lenten devotional or at any time of the year, the book includes a guide for creating a personal rule of life, and a downloadable Facilitator’s Guide.
