Dare to Believe, Rise Up to Act: Equipping laity to be the public face of Christ

by Mary Sharon Moore

Book Overview

Church exists for the sake of the world. But what does this mean to a world enmeshed in chaos? Dare to Believe, Rise Up to Act proposes that laity are more than "parishioners." They are, in fact, the public face of Christ. Catholic author, teacher, and speaker Mary Sharon Moore helps laity to reconnect the power of their anointing in the Holy Spirit with the urgency of the times. She walks readers from apprenticeship to the Master to assignments, to the straightforward call to actually dare to believe Jesus, and to rise up to act. Author of numerous books and articles on mature Christian faith, Moore now delivers her most impassioned and compelling plea to laity to be the enfleshed presence of the risen Christ in our world today. With stories, teaching points, coherent flow and grace, Moore accompanies her readers out of the boat to the fierce edge of the wave where Jesus is. The book includes a Toolkit to prime the imagination, whet the appetite, and prepare parishes for the deeper Dare to Believe process. Mary Sharon makes her electronic home at marysharonmoore.com, and her "roots" home in Oregon.
