Mending the Divides

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

Share Your Stuff. I'll Go First.

Women

“I have been waiting for this book for YEARS. Laura is brilliant and brave and creative and wise. We’ve been friends since we were teenagers with ponytails and crushes, and these days, she’s still the first one I’ll text for a book recommendation. This book will be the starting point for so many meaningful conversations, because Laura knows connection comes from sharing our stories. She’s been sharing her stories with me for more than twenty years, and I’m thrilled that so many people will be able to join that conversation now—it’s one that has instructed me, challenged me, and healed me a thousand times over the years. Buy a copy of this book for every person in your life that you want to know in a deeper, more meaningful way.”

Speaking by the Numbers

“I want to put this book in the hands of every speaker in my life, and my only frustration is that it didn't yet exist when I was fumbling my way through my first few years as a very rookie speaker—every audience I stood in front of would have benefited from my reading this wise and helpful book. The brilliance of Sean's mind, the crackling intensity of his personality, and his passion for both the Enneagram and the craft of public speaking leap off every page.”

The Deep Down Things

Christian Living

“In this book, Amber and Seth have written one sacred invitation after another—invitations into deeper honesty and deeper faith, more beauty and more grit, bolder raging and bolder praying. This book is beautifully written and heavily sense-drenched—if you iilove gardens and music and fishing and old homes and stories stories and families and land and silence, you’ll treasure these pages. And if your heart has been broken, you’ll find a kind companion in these pages too—as I read, I began to feel both more human and more beloved.

The Lucky Few

“I absolutely love this book. I love Heather Avis dearly, and her warmth and passion and fierce love come through on every page. This is a story about adoption, about family, about special needs . . . and really, more than anything, it’s a story about faith. I’m so incredibly inspired by the way Heather listens to God’s voice, and as I put down this book, I prayed for more of that kind of faith in my own life.”

She’s a brave and brilliant person, and I’m so thankful for this book.”

A hopeful, important, inspiring book.”

This Is the Main Event

Christian Living

“You had me at the title—‘This is the main event’ is the kind of phrase I’d like to tattoo on my arm—and my spirit. But the excellent title is just the beginning: this is a thoughtful, artful, soulful meditation on life and faith and time and what really matters. The books I’m interested in right now—and the books that I’m pressing into the hands of everyone I love—are books that invite us to swim upstream, aggressively away from our culture’s screaming demands for shallow, shiny and immediate. This is one of those books.”
