Beauty and Resistance

We have enough authors who tell us how we can change the world, but Jonathan Walton adds something else: a rule of life for embracing beauty and rest as well as resistance. At the core of Walton's story is a refreshing honesty, vulnerability, and a welcome belief that resistance and beauty can not only coexist but thrive together."" -- John Blake, CNN editor and author of More Than I Imagined ""In Beauty and Resistance, Jonathan Walton offers a pastorally wise and prophetically grounded invitation to follow Jesus into rhythms of rest, resistance, and renewal. In a world burdened by injustice and despair, Walton guides us toward a sustainable activismΓÇöone rooted not in urgency or outrage but in the life-giving presence of the triune God."" -- Caleb E. Campbell, author of Disarming Leviathan ""In Beauty and Resistance, Jonathan Walton casts a holistic vision of life in the kingdom of GodΓÇöa kingdom that contrasts and upends the kingdoms and idols of this world.

The church desperately needs this pairing of prophetic witness and sustainable spirituality, and Walton's stories can help us!"" -- Jason Jensen, vice president of spiritual foundations for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA and author of Formed to Lead ""Jonathan Walton embodies a lived gospel of hope and justice, guiding generations of students.
