Synopsis
Becoming a good guest Well-known theologian Monica Hellwig invites us to a greater awareness of ourselves as guests on God's earth. Within this simple idea lie questions about our relationship with God and our "fellow guests, as well as questions about our responsibility as stewards of the earth and our own talents. When we look at the world as pure gift, it affects our understanding of material resources, peace, work, simplicity of lifestyle, poverty, and the common good. Unmatched in style and substance, Guests of God-- --helps distinguish between a good life and a redemptive life --uses meditations, psalm adaptations, and line drawings to gently draw the reader into reflection --creates an all-encompassing spirituality of ecology --serves as a nonthreatening introduction to a more aware life --does not assign guilt, only promotes current responsibility --is filled with open-ended questions to prompt discussion This is an excellent ecumenical title for-- o adult ed classes o Lenten classes o RCIA programs o RENEW groups o Confirmation classes o DREs o ecologists o social activists
