It's a standard, offering guidance and encouraging growth in the right direction. It's a way of living intentionally--of making a commitment to spiritual disciplines that are too important to leave up to our day-to-day whims. And the best way to take on a rule of life? Doing it with others. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePracticing Life Together \u003c\/i\u003einvites emerging adults to consider participating in a common rule that will guide their growth and cultivate genuine community. As Dietrich Bonhoeffer discerned, Christian community is \"not an ideal which we must realize; it is rather a reality created by God in Christ in which we may participate.\" Christians don't have to go it alone during the formative years after college--it's possible to practice life together. Paul Gutacker introduces practices we can take up with others--communal prayer, weekly dinners, studying together, and Sabbath--in the hope that these can become life-shaping habits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePAUL GUTACKER\u003c\/b\u003e is a historian who lives in Waco, Texas.
