It's a standard, offering guidance and encouraging growth in the right direction. It's a way of living intentionally--of making a commitment to spiritual disciplines that are too important to leave up to our day-to-day whims. And the best way to take on a rule of life? Doing it with others. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePracticing Life Together \u003c\/i\u003einvites emerging adults to consider participating in a common rule that will guide their growth and cultivate genuine community. As Dietrich Bonhoeffer discerned, Christian community is \"not an ideal which we must realize; it is rather a reality created by God in Christ in which we may participate.\" Christians don't have to go it alone during the formative years after college--it's possible to practice life together. Paul Gutacker introduces practices we can take up with others--communal prayer, weekly dinners, studying together, and Sabbath--in the hope that these can become life-shaping habits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Gutacker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802435181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802435187\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Moody Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Paul Gutacker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46927759540479,"sku":"9780802435187","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2992df20-f00e-474d-9698-f5feec9c86e2.jpg?v=1749372877","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/practicing-life-together-paul-gutacker-9780802435187","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
