Description: Phinney Ridge Lutheran Church in Seattle discovered
that by forming the faith of new Christians and leading them to the
waters of baptism, they as a parish were renewed and revitalized
for mission in the world. Faith Forming Faith describes the
year-long process of faith mentoring that has become the center of
this congregation's ministry. Hoffman's easy narrative style weaves
together solid pastoral and theological insights with the
practical, real-life stories of lives transformed by a vibrant new
faith--the lives of newcomers and long-time members alike. This is
a great primer for anyone wanting more than a pastor's class, more
than another curriculum. It is a book for pastors, parish leaders,
or seminarians. But it's also a great witness to a skeptical,
questioning world outside the Church as well, showing that a life
of faith can be lived in a secular, questioning culture.
Endorsements: ""This is the book for which many of us have been
waiting. In our new, post-Christendom time the critical need for
faith formation--catechesis--has now been understood and accepted.
But how? How to do faith formation for adults, for seekers, for a
new time? Paul Hoffman's inspiring report on 'The WAY' goes a long
way toward answering not only the 'why' and 'what, ' but also the
crucial 'how' question. Invaluable."" -Anthony B. Robinson
President, Congregational Leadership Northwest ""Paul Hoffman
joyously testifies to God's reviving breath stirring a congregation
and bringing new Christians to baptism when a faith community
embraces the Adult Catechumenate as the focus of its ministry.
Those skeptical that an ancient way of forming Christians can work
today will meet people whose lives were truly transformed as they
walked with God, surrounded by God's people, on a journey of
revelation, faith, and discovery that a congregation in Seattle
simply calls 'The WAY.'"" Craig A. Satterlee Professor of
Homiletics Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago ""Paul Hoffman
has written a stunning book. The book describes one congregation's
bold embodiment of the ancient catechumenate--a pattern of
apprenticeship forming people into faith in Jesus Christ. It offers
pastors, seminarians, and congregational leaders sage council for
beginning this baptismal pattern of 'font-forming-faith' in their
own communities, and in doing so sets out a gracious and vital
proposal about the witness of faith in an increasingly secular
society."" -Christian Scharen Codirector, Learning Pastoral
