Sober Spirituality

Christian Living

“My favorite spiritual writing reveals the sacramental nature of all of life, which is exactly what Erin Jean Warde does in Sober Spirituality. She stands humbly yet boldly within the contemplative and mystic traditions, offering words that illuminate the integration of body, mind, and soul within the life of faith. With accessible language, transparent storytelling, and midrashic scriptural interpretation, Warde offers a courageous tenderness to the reader and a loving challenge to the church, identifying areas of our complicity in propping up a culture that prevents people from approaching relationships with alcohol mindfully.”
