This was true for Catherine Wiecher Brunell; but as she matured, she encountered a tension in her faith--a disconnect between the faith she learned as a child and the faith she lived as an adult. In \u003ci\u003eBecoming Catholic, Again\u003c\/i\u003e, Brunell shares her realization of a spiritual identity that is congruent with both her lived experience and Church Tradition.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eBecoming Catholic, Again\u003c\/i\u003e examines how to maintain an authentic spiritual life and a connection to the Church in a postmodern world. For example, Brunell describes her experience with \"theology of inadequacy\": if we only prayed more and did more, then blessings and grace would flow. But that attitude might actually box God out of our lives--to find grace, we should focus on the lives we lead and meet the needs we see in the world from where we stand.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Brunell invites us to experience a faith that grows through personal discovery. Like Brunell, we may no longer have the absolute faith of a child, but we can nurture an adult faith that reconciles any differences.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50037754364177,"sku":"CIN0829437517G","price":5.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51720657240337,"sku":"CIN0829437517VG","price":7.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0829437517.jpg?v=1751297388","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/becoming-catholic-again-book-catherine-wiecher-brunell-9780829437515","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
