What if the annoying person you try to avoid is actually seconds away from becoming an accidental saint in your life? What if, even in our persistent failings, holy moments are waiting to happen? In Accidental Saints, Nadia Bolz-Weber takes us inside the House for All Sinners and Saints, her congregation in Denver. Tattooed, angry, profane - an altogether unlikely cleric - this former standup comic stubbornly, sometimes hilariously, resists the God she feels called to serve. Yet in her doubts and disasters she keeps "stumbling into holy moments" that break through her resistance; holy moments that are also waiting for each of us. In a time where many have become disillusioned with Christianity, Accidental Saints demonstrates what happens when ordinary people meet to share bread and wine, struggle with scripture, and tell the truth about their real lives. Their faltering steps towards wholeness will ring true for believer and sceptic alike.

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    A brilliant beautifully written, insightful, engaging and enjoyable follow up to 'Cranky, Beautiful Faith'. Using the wonderful, real and perfectly flawed people of her own congregation and knowing, Bolz-Webber weaves a book that takes us deeper into the mysteries of church, liturgy and worship. We encounter and find out about major themes like sin, incense, good friday, reconciliation, grace, love, forgiveness, mercy, and above all we see how words and action are at the heart of both human iinteration and relationships and our churches lives. A really enjoyable read that is deeper and more profound than you might at first think
