Beskrivning

This wise and beautiful book, written in the form of spiritual letters, reflects on the themes of home and being at home: with ourselves, with each other, with the times we are living through, and with God. Nazareth, where Jesus spent his first thirty years, was a physical home but also a spiritual home and the place of nurture, dreaming, formation and becoming.Richard Carter offers a wealth of insight for experiencing how, as Christians, we carry Nazareth, the place of God’s incarnate presence, with us wherever we are and how it becomes a home where the Word is made flesh again in our lives and we find our place of deepest belonging.Rich in biblical reflection, poetic meditation and practical guidance for living in demanding times, Letters from Nazareth abounds in simple yet profound wisdom for our world today.

Recensioner i media

'With characteristic honesty and sensitivity, Richard Carter writes letters to console, sometimes provoke but always to encourage and build up the people of God. At the hardest of times, at the bedside of a dying friend, or in the bewilderment of pandemic uncertainty, his personal call to surrender all to Christ is a call, as he outlines at the end of each chapter, not only to pray but to wonder. Read the letters written to the scattered community and you will feel they have been written only for you.'
