Grace for the Journey: Practices and Possibilities for In-between Times

Every community of faith journeys through periods of transition. In Grace for the Journey: Practices and Possibilities for In-Between Times, authors Beverly and George Thompson invite congregations to open themselves to the grace-filled possibilities that accompany these in-between periods. Drawing on biblical examples and contemporary experience, the authors invite the community of faith to see transitional times as an opportunity to develop deeper spiritual awareness of God's call on its communal life―a call that open up fresh potential even as it calls us to consider what familiar things may need to change. As pastors and teachers with experience in congregations across the country, the Thompsons serve as your travel guides, accompanying you and your congregation as you walk through the wilderness of transitional times to the hope-filled possibilities on the horizon.

Beverly and George Thompson serve as a ministry team as pastors, seminary teachers, authors, and as congregational consultants. George is a founding member of the Academy of Religious Leadership. Among his book titles are How to Get Along with Your Church and Church on the Edge of Somewhere. Beverly is the author of A Spiritual Companion to How to Get Along with Your Church. Currently the Thompsons serve as the Missional Transformation Coaches for Coastal Carolina Presbytery and co-pastors at Red Springs Presbyterian Church, N.C.
