Pohl aU.S.A bWilliam B. Eerdmans Publishing Company c2012 a213tr. bPaperback, Illustration c23 cm aEvery church, every organization, has experienced them: betrayal, deception, grumbling, envy, exclusion. They make life together difficult and prevent congregations from developing the skills, virtues, and practices they need to nurture sturdy, life-giving communities.In Living into Community Christine Pohl explores four specific Christian practices -- gratitude, promise-keeping, truth-telling, and hospitality -- that can counteract those destructive forces and help churches and individuals build and sustain vibrant communities. Drawing on a wealth of personal and professional experience and interacting with the biblical, historical, and moral traditions, Pohl thoughtfully discusses each practice, including its possible complications and deformations, and points to how these essential practices can be better cultivated within communities and families. aChristian Life aHospitality aGratitude4 uhttps://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15059/81xlzxf8gl-sy466.jpgyCover Image aHuỳnh Thị Ngọc Bích a231010 TKH c14910d14910 00104070aTVCDbTVCDd2026-01-20g0.00l0pTVCD-14910v0.00yBK
