Synopsis

In a world of so much hurt, how can we create communities of care and healing?

While much of contemporary Christianity careens toward a spirituality of individual salvation and the afterlife, the call of Jesus to create communities that enact justice and bring peace on earth is often tragically ignored. In his revelatory new book Looking Inward, Living Outward, author and student of the spiritual life Daniel Wolpert calls us back to a life of prayer and core spiritual practices that re-orient our gaze outward in acts of social transformation.

Drawing from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, one of the most radical speeches in human history, this encouraging and practical guide connects acts of contemplation with action, providing a biblically based and spiritually grounded course corrective for how Christians are called to live as Beloved Community today. Discover how spiritual practices can change the way you interact with the world and inspire lasting social change.

Key Takeaways:

• Learn practical spiritual practices to live a life molded by a deep spiritual connection.
• Explore the nature of the spiritual life and how it can become a guiding force in our daily lives.
• Understand the teachings of Jesus and the Sermon on the Mount as a blueprint for living in community and society.
• Discover the importance of communities of practice in reorienting our actions and promoting compassion in a world filled with challenges.
