Each day, the Orthodox monks of Mount Atmos in Greece permit no more than two handfuls of non-Orthodox pilgrims to spend time in the thin air of their monasteries that hang halfway between heaven and earth. In this book, Jeff Skinner invites all of us to join him on a quest after the heights of both evangelism and discipleship where God's Kingdom comes on earth as it is in heaven. As you pack your bag, prepare yourself for a journey that begins from the inside out as you discover the thin places where the things of God are hidden in plain sight. In the words of the Jesuit priest and writer James Martin, Jeff's book invites us to "keep noticing." With Jeff as your faith-full and down-to-earth guide, you'll have plenty to discover!

As a young boy, every Sunday I stood at the end of my driveway eagerly awaiting the "Snoopy Bus" Ms. Elaine's warm welcome and sweet treats like chocolate milk and Ding Dongs. This bus symbolized a journey filled with anticipation, at it picked up other children on the way to church. Once there, we were embraced by warm smiles and outstretched hands. Sunday became a sanctuary of peace full of unwavering and undeniable love amidst the chaos of my home. Today, I carry forward the faith that small-town Alabama church instilled in me. Imperfect but loving, they gave a hyperactive boy a sense of belonging. Now, the next generation stand at their driveways, seeking that same love and guidance. Will you answer God's call and lead them on their journey? They are reachable, eager for meaning, and just need someone to show them "The Way."
