$10.97

This title presents a thought for each day of the year by the hundredth Archbishop of Canterbury. The unending adventure - January 1 - People sometimes ask me if I have ever felt like losing my faith. No: my faith is always part of me. But faith isn't a state of easy and calm security, it is an adventure of ceaseless battling with troubles: a peace of mind and a serenity indeed, but a costly peace and serenity in the midst of conflict. After all, our world is a world on conflict, and faith is not an escape from it, but something which - in St. John's words - 'overcomes it'.
