Originally, the faith of Jesus was considered a distinctive way of life rather than a sophisticated theological system. Pilgrim Heart re-imagines discipleship as—first and foremost—a particular way of life guided by a set of simple, but powerful, daily practices known to the earliest disciples and the saints through the ages. These include:
- Friendship
- Sabbath Rest
- Hospitality
- Confession
- Forgiveness
- Listening
- Discernment
- Singing
- Creating
- Telling Stories
How would this approach to the religion of Jesus change the way we think and live? Pilgrim Heart is an invitation to consider afresh the way of Jesus in light of practices that have proven to transform lives for two thousand years.
