About the Book

What does it mean to live in covenant community—and how do faith, hope, and love make such a life possible? In These Three Abide, James E. Faulconer weaves personal experience with theological reflection to show how Zion can be glimpsed here and now. Drawing on his life in a small Pennsylvania branch of the Church—where farmers, academics, business owners, and students shared not only worship but work and service—Faulconer describes a community shaped not by sameness but by covenant. In ordinary acts of care and cooperation, social differences became sources of unity, and daily life anticipated a future Zion. Warm, wise, and deeply moving, These Three Abide will leave readers with renewed trust in God, strengthened hope for the future, and a clearer vision of the community of love to which we are called.
