Learning to Speak God from Scratch

by Jonathon Merritt, Penguin Books, NY, August 14, 2018

Description

This book blends cultural analysis, personal narrative, and theological reflection to show how sacred vocabulary has faded from everyday life and how congregational leaders and members can revive it in ways that feel authentic and accessible. By reframing spiritual words through story, curiosity, and modern context, this resource helps congregations reclaim meaningful faith language and equips leaders to teach, model, and reintroduce theological terms that strengthen discipleship and deepen communal identity.
