Salvation in My Pocket: Fragments of Faith and Theology
"Salvation in My Pocketis a little gem of a book. With reflections on everything from childhood and prayer to icons and ice cream, these 'miniature experiments in joy' powerfully illuminate divine generosity in ordinary life. Myers is that rare theologian whose gift for aphorism also makes him one of the best Christian writers of his generation. If you are looking for an alternative to the banality of much contemporary spirituality, here it is." -Eric Gregory, Princeton University"Imagine G. K. Chesterton in the age of the Internet. Or, better, imagine Chesterton's knack for crafting witty aphorisms, Kierkegaard's contempt for pious bromides, Barth's relentless Christocentrism, and Rowan Williams' apophatic instincts, all united in one writer, in the age of the Internet. That will give you a sense of what awaits you in the pages of this book, the collected fruit of Benjamin Myers' maddening, stimulating, comforting blog." -Wesley Hill, Trinity School for MinistryImagine G.
