Patrick of Ireland lived a Christian life beyond the ordinary -
that's why we call him a saint. But Jamie Arpin-Ricci contends
that, although St. Patrick may have been extraordinary, the sort of
life he lived is available to everyone - if we only desire and
accept it. This book is Arpin-Ricci's exploration of what that sort
of radical way of living might look like. Drawing from Scripture,
church history and his own ministry experiences among those who
live on the margins, Vulnerable Faith bridges the often enormous
gap between the conceptual ideal of faithfulness we talk about in
church and a genuine, practical, radical obedience to Jesus. The
urgency of the invitation to each of us in 'Vulnerable Faith'
cannot be ignored. In a world of terror and hatred, of protection
and retaliation, it is a bold and important reminder to Christians
of the radical nature of our witness as followers of Jesus. He is
the Word made flesh, the vulnerable incarnation of God's love for
each and every one of us. -Jean Vanier, from the foreword "This
book is an invitation to radical faithfulness found in willing
vulnerability. Jamie Arpin- Ricci guides readers through a process
of transformation, which exposes our pretense and promises new life
through and beyond the cross of Christ." -Sister Helen Prejean,
CSJ, author of Dead Man Walking "If you are intrigued by the life
of early Celtic leader St. Patrick, and if you see a need for
transformation in your own life, Vulnerable Faith is your
invitation to take some time to explore what greater faithfulness
in the people of God might look like. Jamie juxtaposes the life of
St. Patrick with lessons learned from AA's Twelve Steps in a way
that is refreshing and challenging. This is not for the
faint-hearted but for those who want to take steps deeper into the
love of God. I loved it, was inspired by it and recommend it to all
who take their faith seriously." -Christine Sine, author of Return
to Our Senses "In Vulnerable Faith the life of St. Patrick meets
the spirituality of the Twelve Steps. It is a surprising, potent
and challenging combination, one that Jamie Arpin-Ricci uses to
profound effect in setting before us a vision of Christian
community characterized by loving vulnerability, sacrificial
generosity and a radical welcome of the stranger into the Shalom of
God's Kingdom. An inspiring and life-changing book." -Richard Beck,
author "Unclean" & "Slavery of Death"
