Signs of Life: Nurturing Spiritual Growth in Your Church

Devoid of any time-bound and shallow gimmicks, this thin volume is actually an expansive atlas, a collection of maps that tell us both candidly where we are and how in hope to get where we want to go when we decide to be led by God to living together in Christ. This is book will renew Christ’s Body the Church for the sake of the world! –The Rt. Rev. A. Robert Hirschfeld, Bishop of New Hampshire
Having blessed us all for years with his wit and wisdom, priest and author Jay Sidebotham now offers a dose of hope for the Church, mixed with pragmatic spiritual practices that makes this a must-read for all those who take seriously the challenge to live out Jesus’s Way of Love in an increasingly complex reality. Thank you, Jay, for offering a way forward. –The Most Rev. Michael B. Curry, 27th Presiding Bishop of The Episcopal Church and author of Love is the Way: Holding on to Hope in Troubling Times
Signs of Life reflects Jay’s experience in hundreds of congregations. If you care about strengthening congregations, and growing faith in God, use this book as a tool. It will help you move mountains. –The Rt. Rev. Thomas James Brown, Bishop of Maine
Through stories, interviews and insights from a life-long passion to help people grow spiritually, Jay Sidebotham shares all that he’s learned about how to take intentional steps on the journey of faith and help others do the same. RenewalWorks isn’t a program; it’s a pilgrimage. It isn’t one thing to add to an already busy life and full church calendar; it points us in the direction of what matters most of all. –The Rt. Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington

Jay Sidebotham, now retired, served as a priest in The Episcopal Church for more than thirty years. He resides in Wilmington, NC, where he pursues his vocation as an artist.
