it was amazing

Like moths to a flame, we fly to a fire that will consume us. We each carry a profound sense of lack and loss, and in not feeling like we are enough or that we have enough we rush and reach to fill the void. But all the shiny screens and hustling habits leave us with little room to inhabit the lives we have as good and the God who drew near to us in Jesus as actually here. This book will grieve you in a good way and carry you to the feet of Jesus, where He’ll ask you to take up your mat and walk.

But do you want to walk?

Do you want to set aside what is shiny and sugary and soul-killing so you can savor the Presence of the God who is here?

This book artfully, winsomely, and wisely walks us to the wonder of life in Christ and the joy that can be ours when we keep company with Jesus by living in the unhurried rhythms of grace.

Bonus points in my book as a writer: genius short paragraph style for maintaining attention and kindly walking us where we are so apt to resist going.
