Living the Gospel without Compromise

Every day, the newspapers show again and again that cracks are forming in our modern economic, political, and technological superstructures. Terror, despair, and fear are on the rise--and the media and political elites are at a loss for solutions that will bring lasting peace and healing to the world. In this hard-hitting book, Catherine Doherty brings unique wisdom and clarity to the dilemmas and anxieties of the modern world. She turns the insecurity and fear of the world on its head, showing you how cultivating "holy insecurity" could be your most reliable path to genuine peace. She writes movingly about numerous matters that today s secular society ridicules and caricatures: sacrifice, renewal, community, stewardship, and more. She explains how you can learn to overcome your fear and live with danger, all with joyful (but never na ve or unrealistic) faith and hope in Christ. A Russian baroness who gave up everything to serve the poor of North America, Catherine has unusual and striking insight into the stark realities of the life of faith for everyone from the seemingly comfortable rich to those who live in the most grinding poverty. The answers are startlingly simple, but rich with the supernatural wisdom of the Gospel--and rooted in Catherine s conviction that we must change ourselves before we can realistically expect to change the world. Built on the solid foundation of her classic best-selling book, "The Gospel Without Compromise", this newly revised and expanded edition offers concrete help to make the unequivocal decision to live the gospel--without compromise!--in your daily life in the modern world.
