{"product_id":"fenton-johnson-keeping-faith-9780618492374","title":"Keeping Faith","description":"In his resonant account of a spiritual quest, Fenton Johnson examines what it means for a skeptic to have and to keep faith. Exploring Western and Eastern monastic traditions, Johnson lives as a member of the community at the Trappist Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky and at the branches of the San Francisco Zen Center. Ultimately his encounter with Buddhism brings him to a new understanding and embrace of Christianity. Weaving together meditations on Johnson's spiritual journey with history and insights from modern monks, Keeping Faith offers a blueprint for a new way of practicing faith.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis unflinching spiritual biography explores:\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n - \u003cb\u003eA Skeptic’s Journey:\u003c\/b\u003e The author’s candid struggle with anger, doubt, and the institutional church as he seeks an authentic path to the divine.- \u003cb\u003eBuddhism and Christianity:\u003c\/b\u003e A deep dive into two ancient monastic traditions, living side-by-side with monks in a Kentucky abbey and Zen practitioners in California.- \u003cb\u003eZen Meditation and Practice:\u003c\/b\u003e An immersive look at the discipline of zazen and daily life inside the San Francisco Zen Center and its remote Tassajara monastery.- \u003cb\u003eModern Monasticism:\u003c\/b\u003e A rare glimpse into the Abbey of Gethsemani, the spiritual home of Thomas Merton, and what it means to live a life of solitude, prayer, and community today.\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Houghton Mifflin","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53570636972374,"sku":"9780618492374-G","price":1.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/fenton-johnson-keeping-faith-9780618492374","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
