A preacher's kid raised in a conservative Protestant tradition, Morgan found a spiritual home in the Episcopal Church, and in the cycles of the liturgical year. Weaving together biblical readings, philosophical extracts, and personal experiences, he encourages the reader to explore their own faith journey. The text includes selections from lectionary years A, B, and C, as well as questions for reflection\/discussion. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMorgan, Vance G.:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eVance G.
