Items related to Becoming Fire: Spiritual Writing From Rising Generations
'Becoming Fire' is the first anthology to highlight - in diverse genres - a range of spiritual voices from "rising generations" (Generations X and Y, millenials, and the Hip Hop generation) alongside selected works from older mentors. Together these authors plumb the depths of religious experience, scripture and tradition to articulate powerful insights into young adult faith and the universal search for God, self, vocation, and transcendence in a broken world.
Through story and metaphor, the 48 authors gathered here address great themes in the spiritual life: prayer and desire, covenant and grace, creativity and calling, identity and freedom. Many of these writers speak passionately to the critical issues of our times: war in Iraq and Afghanistan, AIDS, globalization and consumption, racism and homelessness, and conflicts over human sexuality and religious authority. Still others tackle the urgent tasks of re-imagining theology, spiritual practice, writing, and worship for the 21st century. An essential resource for educators, ministers, writers and seekers, 'Becoming Fire' maps the landscape of postmodern spirituality and charts exciting directions for emergent faith and prophetic witness. In an age when language and religious have become weapons, this volume speaks a subversion and healing word.
