But Jamie Arpin-Ricci contends that, although St. Patrick may have been extraordinary, the sort of life he lived is available to everyone - if we only desire and accept it. This book is Arpin-Ricci's exploration of what that sort of radical way of living might look like. Drawing from Scripture, church history and his own ministry experiences among those who live on the margins, \u003ci\u003eVulnerable Faith \u003c\/i\u003ebridges the often enormous gap between the conceptual ideal of faithfulness we talk about in church and a genuine, practical, radical obedience to Jesus. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"This book is an invitation to radical faithfulness found in willing vulnerability.
