Earth Filled with Heaven: Finding Life in Liturgy, Sacraments, and Other Ancient Practices of the Church - Softcover
Synopsis
Christians from a low-church background do not have to be afraid of liturgy and sacraments. On the contrary, these ancient ways of engaging with Scripture and faith, help us see the beauty and taste the grace of heaven through the incarnation of Jesus. Earth Filled with Heaven is an evangelical introduction to the theological framework and habits of the sacramental life. Author and Anglican priest Aaron Damiani translates this sometimes strange-to-us way of Christ-centered faith in an invitational and pastoral manner. He orients readers around a weekly celebration of the Lord's supper, water baptism, liturgical prayer, the church calendar, the daily office--rhythms that quietly nourish us with the life of Jesus. As there are no recent lay introductions for protestant Christians who desire to deepen their roots in the ancient practices of the church, Earth Filled with Heaven speaks to a growing group of faithful Christians discovering these historic church practices for the first time.

From the Back Cover
"The best association for the word sacramental is Jesus. Yes, Jesus--the wonderful grace of Jesus; the glory of Jesus, His face shining like the sun; the life of Jesus, overflowing like a thousand geysers into our world."
Could the sacramental life offer God's life-giving response to our brokenness, chaos, and loneliness? If the idea that Christianity could be "sacramental" sounds strange to you--even scandalous--you're not alone. With pastoral warmth, author and Anglican (ACNA) Priest Aaron Damiani offers an engaging glimpse into the ancient practices of the historic church--into rhythms that quietly nourish us with the life of Jesus. You'll find:
- The meaning of the Lord's Supper, baptism, liturgical prayer, and the church calendar
- How to drink deeply from God's grace
- How faith can flourish and be fruitful in harsh conditions
- How to see a fallen, broken world crammed with the beauty and glory of God!
While secular life erodes our humanity, practicing the sacramental life shows us how to recover it. Enter and experience an enchanted Earth Filled with Heaven.
