Download or read book Journeys toward Narrative Preaching written by Wayne Bradley Robinson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2007-02-21 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ÒThis volume is the outcome of the work of six members of the Narrative and Imagination working group of the Academy of Homiletics. . . . ÒWe hope that this volume will encourage those who have not tried narrative preaching to do so, especially since we present a variety of models of how to do narrative preaching and show how each of us moved toward the particular model we present. We also hope that this volume will contribute to the development of the discipline of narrative preaching. . . . When done well, narrative preaching has the power to effect the kind of transformation in people's lives which we all hope for when we as vehicles attempt to communicate the good news. ÒThis is so in part because narrative preaching both reflects and impacts on the narrative quality of life as we live it. We recognize ourselves in narratives, and we can imagine ourselves changed through narrative in a way that does not often happen through other means of preaching. -- from the Introduction Contributors: Robert G. Hughes Eugene L. Lowry Wayne Bradley Robinson Lucy Rose Richard L. Thulin Michael E. Williams

Festive Faith also includes stories from twenty individuals of diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds who share personal experiences of living the liturgical traditions of their communities. Learn from them how the faith of generations has been deepened by traditions such as these: The Mexican tradition of La Posadas, where the community travels from house to house looking for a place in the inn The practice of making and eating king cakes to represent Christ the King The Polish tradition of blessing of the Easter basket on Holy Saturday to signify the end of fasting and the anticipation of the Easter season The Holy Thursday tradition of visiting seven churches with family and friends to stay awake during the time Christ was in the garden of Gethsemane Whether you’re well-versed in these practices or just beginning your journey, Festive Faith equips you with practical tools and insights to make these traditions your own. Each showcased custom is accompanied by actionable steps that invite you to carry on the tradition, adapt it to your context, and extend it from your home into your parish and back again. This handbook isn’t just for personal or family enrichment; it’s a valuable resource for catechists, parish leaders, and religious educators alike. With its blend of personal anecdotes, historical insights, and practical tips, Festive Faith is a celebration of Catholic heritage and a roadmap for embracing liturgical living in today’s world.
