Faithtrails: Letters to a Young Congregation about Faith, Commitment, Discipleship, and the Church

Bruce Taylor's monthly letters to a young and developing Presbyterian congregation are a biblically rich, theological feast for the entire church, pastorally composed, ecumenically visioned, oriented to worship and liturgy, fostering mission and stewardship, and exhibiting devotion to the whole people of God and a specific beloved community. This book chronicles the beginnings and growth, issues and interests of a new church development in northern Nevada. But while nurturing the seeds of faith in a local context, its scope is a much broader field, not unlike the way in which the apostle Paul's concerns addressed in letters to specific congregations contained gems that were treasured by the larger church and nurtured the development of a much wider ecclesiology while teaching congregants how to look at life--personal, congregational, and national--through a theological lens. Useful alike for parish and seminary, speaking to both laity and clergy, Faithtrails is a unique gift of challenge and encouragement to today's disciples.
