About this item
by Dennis Okholm (Author)
Patience is an indispensable Christian virtue but is often neglected. Often it is thought to be passive inactivity, but nothing could be farther from the truth. Christian patience is creatively active. It has been so in the church's mission, in God's response to fallen humanity, in the cross-shaped life of those who are waiting for justice, and even in the believer's experience of God's silence. Okholm delves into these facets of patience, illustrating them with the experiences of those who have practiced the creative activity of patience and concluding with strategies to cultivate the virtue in our lives.
