In highly accessible language, world-renowned author and speaker Marcus Borg explores what it means to be an authentic Christian in these difficult times. Says Borg, it’s “not primarily about believing the right things or even being good. The Christian life is about being in relationship with God which transforms us into more compassionate beings, ‘into the likeness of Christ.’” Emphasizing the critical role of daily practice in living the Christian life, Borg examines how prayer, worship, Sabbath, and pilgrimage can be experienced as authentically life-giving practices.

“[This book] will nourish new Christians who are moving beyond popular caricatures of faith, inviting them to the real stuff.”
– Walter Brueggemann, Professor of Old Testament, Columbia Theological Seminary

“With great clarity and pastoral genius, Marcus Borg offers questioning Christians a way to keep the faith without shutting down the search for truth.”
– Barbara Brown Taylor, popular author and preacher
