Description
Told with humor and vulnerability,Vintage Saints and Sinners introduces us afresh to twenty-five "saints" who challenge and inspire us with their honest faith.
Narrating her own winding pilgrimage through faith, Karen Marsh reveals surprising lessons in everyday spirituality from these saints—folks who lived and breathed, and failed and followed God. Some of the saints explored include Søren Kierkegaard, Dorothy Day, Howard Thurman, Flannery O'Connor, and Augustine.
Let their lives and their wisdom be an invitation to authentic life in Christ.
Advance Praise
"This page-turning pilgrimage journal offers readers way-bread from—and for—the fallible and glorious communion of quotidian saints."
—Susan R. Holman, author of Beholden, winner of the 2016 Grawemeyer Award in Religion
"Sit down and pour yourself a glass of Karen Wright Marsh's Vintage Saints and Sinners. At first sip, you are transported into delightful stories of Christians past. As you drink more deeply, Vintage Saints and Sinners engages difficult issues of faith, doubts and loves, wisdom, and the practice of justice in the world. This is a gracious book full of charming prose and profound truths with just the right complexity of spiritual insight for everyday life. Taste and see!"
—Diana Butler Bass, author of Grounded: Finding God in the World—A Spiritual Revolution
"Righteousness, we know, is endlessly complicated. In Vintage Saints and Sinners, Karen Marsh shows that it's also a living process, a communal drama of joy and liveliness into which we're invited. With wit, care, and deep lyricism, Karen helps us to see that saints—who are also always sinners—are on our side. Where we are, they've already been. We get to meet their messy witness with our own. One day at a time."
—David Dark, author of Life's Too Short to Pretend You're Not Religious
