Pete Nunnally is an avid fisherman and an ordained Episcopal priest. Born and raised in Virginia, he taught middle school physical education for five years before moving to New Orleans to work in Hurricane Katrina recovery with the Diocese of Louisiana. He graduated from Virginia Theological Seminary, and is the founder of Water and Wilderness Church, a sustainable outdoor church and watershed community of spiritual and religious seekers who worship, read and study, and retreat together in the wild places of God's abundant creation. He lives in Washington, DC, with his two cats, Mumphus and Sassafras, and can be found making music with friends, browisng the farmers market, hiking the trails, and more often than not, somewhere at the water's edge with a line in the water.
""Like every good fisherman, Pete Nunnally is a great storyteller, and each chapter of this book is full of adventurous, humorous, and delightful stories. That would be a good enough reason to read Catching Hope, but Nunnally always adds some deeper insight into why we're here, what we're searching for--and that deeper insight makes this book an unforgettable catch. Highly recommended!"" --Brian D. McLaren, author of Faith After Doubt and The Last Voyage ""No need to be a fishing enthusiast to find this little gem utterly compelling. In vivid prose, and with vulnerable wisdom, Father Pete Nunnally tells his story of coming alive--to waters and winds and fishy creatures with their wily ways, but even more, to God. Currents of memoir and hard-won spiritual insight flow deftly through these chapters, offering spiritual seekers and yearners plenty to celebrate and ponder."" --Debra Rienstra, author of Refugia Faith: Seeking Hidden Shelters, Ordinary Wonders, and the Healing of the Earth ""I don't know much about fishing, but I know that it includes a great deal of struggle. Catching Hope is for all those who struggle, whether it is a struggle with God, faith, and religion; a struggle to find their place in the world; or a struggle with their own thoughts and demons. If you have ever found yourself in any of these struggles, you will resonate with this gift that Father Pete Nunnally has offered us. Nunnally writes with passion, humor, deep spiritual insight, and refreshing authenticity. Catching Hope is for those of us who are tired of easy answers and neat, tidy stories and who are ready to struggle faithfully with the real life that God has given to us."" --Derrick Weston, director of theological education and formation at Creation Justice Ministries, and author of The Just Kitchen
