{"product_id":"the-year-of-small-things-radical-faith-for-the-rest-of-us-9781587433825","title":"The Year of Small Things: Radical Faith for the Rest of Us","description":"When Sarah and Tom Arthur were appointed to a suburban church after three years in an urban Christian community, they faced a unique challenge: how to translate the practices of \"radical\" faith into their new context. Together with their friends and fellow church members Erin and Dave Wasinger, the Arthurs embarked on a yearlong experiment to implement twelve small practices of radical faith--not waiting until they were out of debt or the kids were out of diapers or God sent them elsewhere, but right now.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is Sarah and Erin's story, told with humor, theological reflection, and practical insight, exploring such practices as simplicity, hospitality, accountability, sustainability, and social justice--but, most of all, discernment. Along the way readers will consider how God might be calling them to embark on their own year of small but radical changes, right where God has planted them. Each chapter includes discussion questions and suggested readings. Foreword by Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor more information, visit  www.YearofSmallThings.com](http: \/\/www.YearofSmallThings.com).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSarah Arthur\u003c\/b\u003e (MTS, Duke Divinity School) is a fun-loving speaker and the award-winning author or compiler of eleven books, including the best-selling \u003ci\u003eWalking with Frodo: A Devotional Journey through \"The Lord of the Rings\" \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eAt the Still Point: A Literary Guide to Prayer in Ordinary Time\u003c\/i\u003e.
