Keeping Faith

Fenton Johnson's exploration of faith delves into the journey of a skeptic seeking spiritual understanding. By immersing himself in both Western and Eastern monastic traditions, particularly at the Trappist Abbey of Gethsemani and the San Francisco Zen Center, he discovers a deeper connection between Buddhism and Christianity. The book intertwines personal reflections with historical context and modern monastic insights, presenting a unique blueprint for a contemporary approach to faith and spirituality.
