On the contrary, these ancient ways of engaging with Scripture and faith, help us see the beauty and taste the grace of heaven through the incarnation of Jesus. \u003ci\u003eEarth Filled with Heaven\u003c\/i\u003e is an evangelical introduction to the theological framework and habits of the sacramental life. Author and Anglican priest Aaron Damiani translates this sometimes strange-to-us way of Christ-centered faith in an invitational and pastoral manner. He orients readers around a weekly celebration of the Lord's supper, water baptism, liturgical prayer, the church calendar, the daily office--rhythms that quietly nourish us with the life of Jesus. As there are no recent lay introductions for protestant Christians who desire to deepen their roots in the ancient practices of the church, \u003ci\u003eEarth Filled with Heaven\u003c\/i\u003e speaks to a growing group of faithful Christians discovering these historic church practices for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003e\"The best association for the word \u003ci\u003esacramental\u003c\/i\u003e is \u003ci\u003eJesus\u003c\/i\u003e.

If the idea that Christianity could be \"sacramental\" sounds strange to you--even scandalous--you're not alone. With pastoral warmth, author and Anglican (ACNA) Priest Aaron Damiani offers an engaging glimpse into the ancient practices of the historic church--into rhythms that quietly nourish us with the life of Jesus.
