The Gospel According to Saint Baby Boomer - Paperback

by Kathleen Ware Harris D. Min (Author)

The Gospel According to Saint Baby Boomer is a tongue in cheek way of describing how I, as a woman born in the generation after World War II came to be able to proclaim my faith in Jesus Christ. This book is collection of personal reflections, memories, contemplation on scripture, and discussions about faith issues concerning the baby boomer generation. All of the offerings included in the volume were either shared online in blogs, or sent as messages to friends and family members as journal entries when I was overseas in mission. There are also memories of earlier times when I was an Air Force officer. Many of the reflections were written after deliberately going out into nature to spend time aside with the Lord. The Gospel According to Saint Baby Boomer sharing all of these offerings to encourage people to seek a deeper relationship with God in Jesus Christ. Kathleen Ware Harris, D.
