In this beautifully written book, Lillian Daniel describes the practice of testimony: people standing up in community worship and telling stories about how they have experienced God. A simple definition perhaps, but Daniel movingly and thoughtfully shows how complex, powerful, risky, and life changing testimony can be. In these pages, people speak with wonder, joy, and astonishment about the places where the pathways of their lives have intersected the trajectories of God's presence and grace. With candor, theological insight, and pastoral wisdom, Daniel describes how testimony can deeply affect, and finally transform, the life of a congregation. Prepare to learn here about the practice of testimony, but prepare also to be touched by the courage and honesty of people speaking aloud their experiences of faith.
