Standing Naked Before God: The Art of Public Confession

By Molly Phinney Baskette

Book Overview

Confess Forget the docile confessions of Sunday liturgy and lay it all bare before God and one another. With wit, grace, and a healthy dose of vulnerability, Molly Baskette shares the story of how her church grew in membership and fellowship through a radical style of confession. This sequel to Real Good Church features First Church Somerville UCC's counter-cultural practice of public confession of sin--which is the most essential of the 200 turnaround practices in Real Good Church. By showing up and telling the truth--the whole truth--our churches can finally become places of real authenticity for millennials and Gen Xers looking for a hypocrisy-shedding, fully integrated spirituality. Includes a how-to for reluctant churches, and a moving anthology of testimonies. https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUXvKQ0AZJQ&feature=youtu.be
