How to Remember: Forgotten Pathways to an Authentic Faith (Paperback or Softback)

Do you feel tired of shallow, consumer-driven faith? Discover the beauty of old paths.

"Andrew Osenga explores something many Christians feel but don't know how to articulate: the hunger for something older and truer than spiritual performance. This book doesn't scold or sell—it listens, laments, and then leads us back to what we've almost lost." —Russell Moore, Editor-in-Chief of Christianity Today

We are forgetful people. Even our way to God can sometimes feel muddled or lost. Perhaps that’s why God tells us so often to “remember.” Yet, in a noisy world where so many things compete for our attention, how do we hear the voice and experience the presence of God?

How to Remember shows how the astonishment of previous generations has been lost and addresses the disconnect many Christians feel toward modern consumer-based evangelicalism. More and more, Christians are discovering less commercial forms of worship and community. Wandering believers are finding life again through ancient paths.

In short chapter format, Artist Andrew Osenga invites readers to a life of faith and wonder. Readers reflect on prayer, doubt, grief, confession, joy, lament, time, peace, mystery, and much, much more. Through personal stories and biblical reflection—along with the faithful saints and the sturdy traditions that have gone before us—How to Remember offers language and tools to rebuild and reenter a communal life of faith, hope, and awe.
