{"product_id":"9781621893400","title":"Faith Forming Faith: Bringing New Christians to Baptism and Beyond","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.","brand":"Wipf \u0026 Stock Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47139338289392,"sku":"9781621893400","price":8.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781621893400_p0.jpg?v=1763861036","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781621893400","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
