Publisher's Synopsis
Pilgrim is a teaching and discipleship resource that will help enquirers and new Christians explore what it means to travel through life with Jesus Christ. It offers an approach of participation, not persuasion, encouraging enquirers to practice the ancient disciplines of biblical reflection and prayer, exploring key texts that have helped people since the earliest days of the Christian faith. What does it mean to live as a child of God? This final part of the Grow stage looks at how following Christ each day affects our life at home and at work, our resources and relationships, and how the Christian faith can shape us to become more like Jesus. Session One: Praying through life - Explores the importance of prayer, particularly daily prayer as foundational for the Christian life. Session Two: At home and at work - Looks at how we live out our faith every day and of the importance of Sabbath. Session Three: Living generously - Considers what it means to reflect the generosity of God in our own lives. Session Four: In all my relationships - Looks at how faith in the God who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit shapes and changes all our relationships. Session Five: Confronting the injustices of the world - Considers how the Christian life requires us to be involved in the affairs of the world and to witness to God's kingdom of peace and justice every day. Session Six: Treading lightly on the earth - Explores our relationship with the earth itself. All sessions combine a simple framework prayer, reflection on the Bible in the lectio divina style, an article by a modern writer, and time for questions and reflection, supported by online audio-visual resources.
