Blessed Are the Nones

History & Biography

“Blessed Are the Nones turns 'unequally yoked' on its head. There is no sense of winners and losers, lost and found, broken and born-again. Rather, Blessed is an invitation: How do we dive deeply when confronted with inevitable changes in relationships and faith? Kielsmeier-Cook is an eager cartographer; she maps the path of two faith-full people facing crises—and how they travel together, not apart. With visceral vulnerability, her powerful narratives stir and inform. She is our steady companion in the uncharted territory of those of us who loved—and lived—the evangelical movement of the late twentieth century. Utilizing nuns and nones, mystics and saints as her fulcrum, Kielsmeier-Cook provides equally eager guides for our own journeys of questions, change, wrestling, and doubt, equipping us with resources for our ultimate calling: love.”

Way of Love

Christian Living

“Dr. Norman Wirzba’s pages teem with a truth our divided world urgently needs: Love is not a soundbite; it’s a daily practice. With clarity and conviction, Wirzba moves us beyond sentiment and into the hard work of building real community, where all are seen and every wound is tended. This book is a steadfast companion for anyone seeking enduring hope, healing relationships, and faith with love at its center—where it has always belonged.”
