Embracing Rhythms of Work and Rest

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“In Embracing Rhythms of Work and Rest, Ruth Haley Barton invites us into a holy place—what Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel called 'a sanctuary in time.' Barton profoundly weaves together disparate strands of the practice of sabbath-keeping into a beautiful quilt that tells us a story about ourselves—we were meant for wholeness, not just individually, but communally. Embracing Rhythms of Work and Rest shows us that this gift from God is not just indispensable for the life of faith but also in our discovery of what it means to be human. Barton has given us a treasure—a must-read for anyone longing for freedom from the tyranny of endless work and overproduction.”

Everyday Activism

Christian Living

“In the introduction to Everyday Activism, J.W. Buck writes, ‘The truth is that Jesus mobilized ordinary people to do God’s work of justice in the world.’ This declaration is the heart of Everyday Activism. Buck does a beautiful job laying out, in simple terms and with tangible practices, how every single follower of Jesus can be engaged in the work of justice in our everyday lives. Words like justice and activism are often used but rarely shown how to be applied in the lives of everyday people. Buck does just that. Everyday Activism is a must-read for any follower of Jesus wondering how to take the first step in actively engaging the work of justice in our world.”

Everything Could Be a Prayer

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“What Kreg Yingst offers us in this book goes far beyond words and images on a page; it is an invitation to be enveloped in the mystery of Divine Love. I found my heart moved with such joy as I was brought into conversation with so many saints and mystics from across the expanse of time and tradition. Sit with this book long enough and you will begin to see with new eyes, which is just what the mystics hoped and prayed for.”

The Understory

Christian Living

“What Lore Ferguson Wilbert has given us in The Understory is more than just a book—far beyond words on a page—but an invitation into an entirely different way of seeing and being in the world. A way shaped not by the demands of performance and production but instead concerned with the radical act of being. Looking to the forest floor as her teacher, Wilbert invites us to peel back the veil and listen to the wisdom that lies just beneath the surface.”

We Mend with Gold

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Kristin Lee has given us both a love letter and a wisdom guide. With courage and clarity, Lee bears witness to the reality that coming to the end of ways of seeing and thinking that no longer work does not have to mean the end of the journey. Rather, it can be the beginning of a new journey toward more wholeness and beauty.”
