With humanity on the cusp of a dramatic new era, Patricia Kepler invites us to reexamine the foundations of Christian faith shared by all mainstream expressions of Christianity. She guides us through theological and ethical issues essential to a faith that is relevant now and for the future. Rediscovering Christianity explores the origins of faith in God, the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the presence of the Holy Spirit, the development of Scripture, and the early Church and current churches. Kepler sees faith evolving and identifies new questions the church needs to address in these pivotal times. She sees hope in moving beyond patriarchy, nationalism, militarism, and economic disenfranchisement. The future, set in a secular, technological age holds promise for current and new generations to accelerate the building of a new creation built on Jesus’ call for us to respect and love one another, relying on the love of God and the power of the Spirit. Given that humanity now has power to destroy its world, Kepler argues that humanity must accept responsibility for embracing the sacredness of life now, and, in harmony with what has come before, pursue the common good for the salvation of the world. What we believe about God and humanity matters. Ethics matter. The new era opens the door to a creativity and spirituality that coming generations of Christians can claim and develop.

Sheila has finally gotten her nursing degree. Emily and Jared are back together . . . for now, at least. And seventeen-year old Amber is on the verge of womanhood, looking forward to the future. There are plenty of reasons for the women of this Philly neighborhood to celebrate . . . especially as they conquer new worlds by moving out to the suburbs. But life always has new surprises (and problems) in store—and even as they enjoy their reunion, these feisty ladies find they still need one another’s support to make it through. From shopping addictions to restraining orders, from the challenges of finding love in the golden years to the tricky quest to tame a passionate, mysterious Scorpio, the adventures just keep on going. And, with a few newcomers joining in—like the handsome Dr. Purdy and the secretive blond bombshell Stefana—the party is just getting started . . . No matter what the girls’ troubles are, they’re going to make it. As long as they don’t lose sight of what’s important: having a good sister to lean on . . .
