Beschreibung

In "Tired Church Members," Anna Bartlett Warner delivers a poignant exploration of the spiritual fatigue that often pervades congregational life. Through a series of evocative narratives and reflective prose, Warner captures the challenges faced by devoted churchgoers who find themselves grappling with the decline of zeal and community spirit. Her writing is imbued with a gentle empathy, drawing on her rich literary background to address the struggles of faith, belonging, and renewal in a way that resonates deeply amid the evolving context of American Protestantism in the 19th century. Anna Bartlett Warner, a prominent figure in 19th-century American literature, was closely associated with her sister, Susan Warner, a successful author in her own right. Growing up in a devout household, the sisters were profoundly influenced by their experiences within the church and the societal expectations of their time. These personal insights on faith, responsibility, and the human condition are woven throughout Warner's work, offering a compassionate perspective on spiritual ennui and the quest for reawakening within the church community. For those engaged in church life or contemplating their spiritual journeys, "Tired Church Members" serves as both a mirror and a balm, inviting readers to reflect on their own experiences and struggles. Warner's thoughtful prose provides guidance and reassurance to those feeling weary in their faith, making this text an essential read for anyone seeking to rejuvenate their spirit and commitment to community.

    From a New York Times–bestselling author: Three epic historical novels that bring to life the spirit of the Jewish immigrant experience in America.  New York Times–bestselling author Cynthia Freeman is beloved for her multigenerational sagas of Jewish immigrant families in America, including her sensational debut, A World Full of Strangers, which sold more than a million copies. The three novels collected here center on ordinary, heroic women who journey across the ocean in search of opportunity, finding both community and adversity, family togetherness and private grief, tragedy and triumph.  A World Full of Strangers: In 1932, Polish immigrant Katie Kovitz is embraced by the Jewish community of the Lower East Side. But after marrying a man who rejects his heritage, she struggles to reclaim her lost identity in this sensational debut novel.  Portraits: In this New York Times bestseller, Esther Sandsonitsky leaves her abusive husband and journeys to the United States in order to capture a piece of the American dream for her children—including Jacob, the son she was forced to leave behind.  No Time for Tears: “This impassioned novel follows its heroine, Chavala Landau, from turn-of-the-century Russia to Palestine and on to the United States, where she carves out a financial empire in the diamond industry before returning to Jerusalem in 1948” (The New York Times).
