Joy in Confession: Reclaiming Sacramental Reconciliation

Reconciliation is one of the most beautiful and life-changing gifts that Jesus offers us. Reconciliation―more commonly known as confession―is also one of the most misunderstood. In this accessible, user-friendly workbook, author Hillary D. Raining provides compelling evidence of transformation for individuals and communities who embrace reconciliation as a spiritual practice. Joy in Confession combines art therapy, scholarship, theology, and worship to create a powerful experience for learning about confession in the Episcopal Church.

The Rite of Reconciliation holds a key to grace and an invitation from God to live with joy as a people of a resurrected hope―if we would but answer the call.
