Discovering the Spiritual Wisdom of Trees

“A practical guide to entering into sacred conversation with trees, the elders who grow outside our doors. Trees don't just offer us metaphors to appreciate, but are bearers of profound insight for what it means to be humans in interconnected relationship with the world. This book helps you to discover the spiritual wisdom of trees for yourself.”

Ecospirituality

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“Rachel Wheeler has woven together a solid theological foundation for a movement that is rapidly emerging even within the Christian tradition, and the title captures the core of it. With scholarly acumen and relatable storytelling, Wheeler shows how radical kinship is more than a trendy metaphor. Rather, the practice of living in kindred relationship with all other beings is the loom itself that weaves our life together on this planet. Beyond metaphor, beyond stewardship or sustainability, not only does Wheeler draw the threads of wisdom from across disciplines to rewild the Christian story; she also offers practical ways to rewild our daily lives and spiritual practices at a time when nothing is more important.”

Gifts of the Mother

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“Advent has become one of those seasons I want to celebrate more honestly, but my old devotionals feel disconnected. Gifts of the Mother is what I've been longing for: a practical, deep, and compassionate companion to enter into Christmas alongside Mary--as an archetype of the Sacred Feminine. Sabra Engelbrecht doesn't ask us to admire the Divine Mother, but to learn her way--birthing and tending new life with empathy at a collective moment when it is most needed.”

How Western Christianity Got It Wrong

Theology

“Honest, vulnerable, respectful, yet fierce. Anyone drawn to this book already knows that Western Christianity got it wrong. Randy Woodley's remarkable book helps us place the reasons why. By the end, you get that following Jesus is a journey largely disconnected from just about everything in Western culture and religion. But it's not all problems. Woodley lovingly affirms what your intuition already knows: that spirituality, even for us Western humans from the Christ tradition, is intimately connected with the aliveness of all creation.”

Watch and Wonder

Prayer & Spiritual Formation

“I met Ragan Sutterfield early in my journey into wild church. He is a fellow edgewalker and pioneer in integrating the holy mystery of the natural world with the Christian faith. In this intimate book, Watch and Wonder, Ragan shares his experiences of the Holy through his relationship with a series of common birds, stretching the understanding of beloved community beyond those of our own church or our own species. These stories offer a gift of sacramental sight through the lives of birds as apostles of mystery while staying rooted in the sacraments of the church. Nature and Spirit are, in fact, not separate.”
