Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Has your faith lost its flavor? Is your spiritual life dry? Does church seem more like what you do than who you are? Is your soul ready for the new planting God has in store for this season of your life?Returning to the fields of her previous book, Preparing Fields for Seasons of Change, author Rebecca Collison takes the focus from small rural churches and shifts gears to individual faith development in the Apostle Paul's call to be "God's field." Using Jesus' agricultural-based parables as the seed, Groundwork offers a fresh perspective to working out our faith. By turning over the soil in our soul, vibrant spirituality and life-changing discipleship can emerge.With a nod to the land from which humankind was created, engagement with the farming narratives offers an organic approach to letting our roots go deep into Christ. The parables are paired with current social issues, which act as pollinators necessary for the bearing of fruit for the kingdom of God. Each chapter concludes with an opportunity to go further into spiritual practices while engaging the parable-focused seeds for contemplation, study, and exploration, either individually or in small groups.
