Our spiritual life and mental health are often interconnected. When faced with increasing rates of burnout and a flood of negative headlines daily, our faith can be something that grounds us and gives us hope when things might otherwise feel hopeless. These books offer spiritual guidance and help us find meaning, comfort, and connection in something greater than ourselves.
When everything feels gray and hopeless, curiosity emerges as an unexpected path back to color and life. Through personal stories, spiritual reflection, and practical ideas, Sacred Curiosity reveals how curiosity slows us down when life feels overwhelming, builds bridges across our deepest divisions, pushes past shame toward liberation, and rewilds our domesticated spirits. In this book, Britney Winn Lee invites us to follow breadcrumbs of wonder toward a more generous, hopeful way of being.
Fishing is an exercise in hope. In a world where every answer is at our fingertips, fishing is transformative for its sheer unpredictability. Priest and fisherman Pete Nunnally loves to teach people how to fish for fish and, through that, how to fish for what their soul is yearning for: to come alive. In Catching Hope, he takes his readers fishing with him. Along the way you'll learn how fishing connects the human condition to the divine presence in all things. And even if you never go fishing, this book will open your heart to the hidden wisdom and beauty found at the water's edge.
Embracing the Old Witch in the Woods
Christian patriarchy teaches that women are dangerous, manipulative, and untrustworthy. Whether painting women as the archetypal old witch in the woods or the biblical temptress, toxic religion vilifies their wisdom and uses fear to maintain male power. And these harmful stereotypes aren't just historical; they persist in modern religious, societal, and political rhetoric, where confident women are called "nasty" or "radical." Embracing the Old Witch in the Woods is a road map for readers to challenge limiting beliefs, confront systemic injustices, untangle from patriarchal Christian attitudes toward women, and tap into the deep well of feminine wisdom.
