Book Description
What’s more miserable than trying to walk with a stone in your shoe? Many American evangelicals are experiencing pain and discomfort in their relationship to the church. “Stones” in their shoes make the faith journey uncomfortable and increasingly untenable. They either leave the church altogether, become “church shoppers,” or live on the margins of the church as outliers. This book presents the vantage point of a lifelong evangelical pastor and religious educator who sees himself as an outlier. Walters draws on decades of pastoral life and classroom experience to engage the church in a conversation aimed at clarifying the concerns and discomforts of evangelical outliers. While this is one person’s story it intersects with the stories of many others in American evangelicalism, especially clergy. In identifying the stones which trouble and discomfort so many like him, Walters continually calls the church, his church, back to its biblical and theological foundations.

A Stone in My Shoe
Author: George Ellenbogen
Publisher: Signal Editions
ISBN: 9781550653564
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Poet George Ellenbogen's memoir is more than a collection of anecdotes of his immigrant family and their journey from Franz Joseph's Austro-Hungarian empire to Montreal in the 1920s. A Stone in My Shoe charts his discovery of how an immigrant Jewish neighborhood--a tight-knit shtetl with extended families that had its own shops, institutions, and daily Yiddish newspapers--sustained him and his family as well as thousands of others. The revelations ripple outward and what surfaces--the markers of his parents' navigation in a new world and his own youth in the 1940s and 1950s Montreal--extend to all. They become part of the universal map in which readers will recognize their own quirky courses into childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.
