Light for the Way

""At the moment, I cannot think of a better tonic for the spirit than this new collection from Sojourners, which has been in the business of encouragement for as long as some of us have been alive. Whether you are ready for refreshment from some of your favorite authors or on the lookout for new sources of inspiration, you will find them here."" --Barbara Brown Taylor, New York Times bestselling author of An Altar in the World, Learning to Walk in the Dark, and Holy Envy ""In a world teetering on the edge of division, injustice, and despair, Light for the Way is the kind of book we need now more than ever--a guide and companion on the journey toward repair, renewal, and a justice revival. In these pages, you will find not just theological reflection but a morally rooted call to action, inviting us to practice as we preach and to learn as we lead. Light for the Way is a timely and essential read for all those looking to cultivate a faith that is both deeply personal and powerfully collective, for the sake of the world and the flourishing of all God's people."" --Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, author of We Pray Freedom: Liturgies and Rituals from the Freedom Church of the Poor and You Only Get What You're Organized to Take: Lessons from the Movement to End Poverty ""Sojourners is one of the most important Christian publications in America today, and reading this anthology of writings from the magazine is like listening to a greatest-hits playlist from one of your favorite bands. More than once, as I was reading this book, I would finish one of the essays and think, 'That article alone is worth the price of the book.' In other words, there are numerous treasures here to both nurture and challenge your Mary heart and Martha hands. A lot of people nowadays like to pay lip service to the importance of linking contemplation to action--Light for the Way shows you how it's done."" --Carl McColman, author of Read the Bible like a Mystic and Eternal Heart ""For more than fifty years, Sojourners has been a source of wisdom and inspiration for the world. Light for the Way is a treasure trove of articles--contemplative, pragmatic, and prophetic--that are as timely today as when they were written. Covering a variety of themes, they offer guideposts to faith in action in these fraught times."" --Leah Rampy, author of Earth and Soul: Reconnecting amid Climate Chaos; coauthor of Discovering the Spiritual Wisdom of Trees
