Phinney Ridge Lutheran Church in Seattle discovered that by forming the faith of new Christians and leading them to the waters of baptism, they as a parish were renewed and revitalized for mission in the world. Faith Forming Faith describes the year-long process of faith mentoring that has become the center of this congregation’s ministry. Hoffman’s easy narrative style weaves together solid pastoral and theological insights with the practical, real-life stories of lives transformed by a vibrant new faith–the lives of newcomers and long-time members alike. This is a great primer for anyone wanting more than a pastor’s class, more than another curriculum. It is a book for pastors, parish leaders, or seminarians. But it’s also a great witness to a skeptical, questioning world outside the Church as well, showing that a life of faith can be lived in a secular, questioning culture.
