by Fenton Johnson (Author)
In his resonant account of a spiritual quest, Fenton Johnson examines what it means for a skeptic to have and to keep faith. Exploring Western and Eastern monastic traditions, Johnson lives as a member of the community at the Trappist Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky and at the branches of the San Francisco Zen Center. Ultimately his encounter with Buddhism brings him to a new understanding and embrace of Christianity. Weaving together meditations on Johnson's spiritual journey with history and insights from modern monks, Keeping Faith offers a blueprint for a new way of practicing faith.
This unflinching spiritual biography explores:
- A Skeptic's Journey: The author's candid struggle with anger, doubt, and the institutional church as he seeks an authentic path to the divine.
- Buddhism and Christianity: A deep dive into two ancient monastic traditions, living side-by-side with monks in a Kentucky abbey and Zen practitioners in California.
- Zen Meditation and Practice: An immersive look at the discipline of zazen and daily life inside the San Francisco Zen Center and its remote Tassajara monastery.
- Modern Monasticism: A rare glimpse into the Abbey of Gethsemani, the spiritual home of Thomas Merton, and what it means to live a life of solitude, prayer, and community today.
