In Strength for the Journey, Diana Butler Bass illustrates the dynamic strength and persistence of mainline Protestantism. While many baby boomers left the church, only to come back later in life, Bass was a "stayer" who witnessed the struggles and changes and found much there that was meaningful. Offering thought-provoking portraits of eight parishes she attended over two decades, she explores the major issues that have confronted mainline denominations, congregations, and parishioners during those years- from debates over women clergy to conflicts about diversity and community to scrimmages between tradition and innovation.

Product Description:
Strength for the Journey Reveals the author's spiritual pilgrimage to authentic faith. Going against conventional thinking, the author shows how mainline churches can be vital and relevant to both seekers and church stayers.
Review:
"The book you are holding in your hands is as much an amazement as a book. Though it may be––and is––gentle and unassuming, the tale told on these pages spreads in one′s soul over time like a powerful music heard or a rich brandy well savored.... Strength for the Journey is a sui generis, a thing unto itself, a one–of–a–kind book." (From the foreword by Phyllis Tickle, author of The Divine Hours and The Shaping of a Life)

"Diana Bass is an astute, acute, and articulate commentator on the religious scene, with a knack for detecting the resonances between her own story and the larger story of religion and culture. A clear and witty voice, laced with humor." (Patrick Henry, executive director Institute for Ecumenical and Cultural Research)

"With the insights of a mystic, Diana Butler Bass recounts her spiritual pilgrimage from Methodism to evangelicalism to the benumbing diversity of the Episcopal Church, where she found a spiritual home. Along the way, she offers a guided tour of the crises and the controversies afflicting mainline Protestantism over the past several decades. For anyone looking for evidence that the glass of mainline Protestantism is half full rather than half empty, Strength for the Journey offers a persuasive case." (Randall Balmer Author of Growing Pains: Learning to Love My Father′s Faith)

"A compelling intertwining of a personal spiritual journey and the recent history of Protestantism. Diana Butler–Bass makes the case that Baby Boom seekers are drawing the Church into a new, more authentic Christianity." (Nora Gallagher Author of Things Seen and Unseen: A Year Lived in Faith)
