Learning to lean : a contemplative companion /
Richard Maffeo.
- x, 175 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm.
"Among the earliest Creeds of Christian faith, the Nicene Creed brims with a theological richness that can impassion our hearts toward Christ and enflame our desire to bring Him to our world. Maffeo parses the Creed into forty reflections -- some might call them 'devotionals' -- each designed to raise questions in our minds about our own faith journey, questions like: What do I really know about Jesus' love for me? How can Christ's death bring me eternal life? What does it mean to 'believe' in Jesus? Can I honestly say, "Amen" to God's work in my own life? It takes only a few minutes to read any of these reflections. But the message nestled within each reflection will linger much longer".
