Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. What did Jesus's few decades on Earth really accomplish? How can we know right from wrong, truth from untruth? What does the Nicene Creed mean to me, and is reciting it that important? Did God create the butterfly? These are just a sampling of the fifteen questions Russell G. Ruffino addresses-and answers-in Riding the Crest of the Waves II, a relevant, easy-to-read guide to understanding the ins and out of the Christian faith, from the everyday to the deeply philosophical. Though Anglican-Episcopalians will find much to digest in these FAQs, Ruffino's truths cross denominational lines. In refreshingly honest, nonacademic terms, Ruffino buttresses his commentary with reflections on God's relationship with him and what he's learned from his own "bad" life decisions, and he concludes his book with a detailed confession of faith. Far from seeking to satisfy an ecclesiastical body, Ruffino instead pursues faithfulness to the future of the church-the body of believers, a community committed to embracing an identity as the image-bearers of the God of love.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Riding the Crest of the Waves is Russell Ruffino's fresh and bold wake-up call to let go of the past and open up to rethinking the message and power of Christianity The book features thirty-six short essays on religious, philosophical, and ethical subjects. Along the way the reader will become increasingly enchanted by the personal anecdotes emanating from Ruffino's years of ministering to others that will make the reader smile, laugh heartedly, and thirst for more. The book hopes to encourage people, Christians in particular, to think and to uestion that which surrounds and challenges them in a changing world increasingly dominated by science and technology. Ruffino adds that "Christians have to embrace and celebrate the challenge of science and technology, and what faith and science together can contribute to our understanding of God's creation, and particularly to our understanding of the earth, our island home." Riding the Crest of the Waves targets men and women of all age groups, as well as every educational level. Ruffino seeks to help redefine, refocus, and redirect what Christianity in particular, and religion in general, should mean for people, for the world, and for the future. As Ruffino insightfully declares, "If Christianity is going to offer food and drink that can change people's lives and change the world, then the Church has to offer food and drink that is not canned, pre-packaged, or frozen. Christianity has to offer food and drink in daring new recipes." Russell Ruffino is an Anglican-Episcopal priest who served for more than thirty-five years in the United States and Italy. He earned a licentiate on theology and a doctorate in philosophy from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. This item is printed on demand.
