Delbrêl draws from her own experiences living in Ivry, witnessing to the possibility of a life at once rooted radically in the church and fully engaged in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis posthumously published collection spans Delbrêl’s life, from a piece she wrote as a seventeen-year-old atheist to her later Christian works. Her passionate essays explore the Christian’s role in a secular society, the difficulty of faith in an atheistic environment, the need for prayer, the centrality of the church, and the fundamental importance of loving both God and our neighbors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"IBC","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":51463691698422,"sku":"9780802846969","price":47.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/6275\/1222\/files\/71JaemQUiKL._SL1500.jpg?v=1786635858","url":"https:\/\/alphaandomegabooks.ca\/products\/we-the-ordinary-people-of-the-streets","provider":"Alpha And Omega Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
