Navigating Trumpworld

""In an era of fracture and fear, withdrawal may seem easier than engagement. Lowell Greathouse challenges this instinct. With a reminder that we only endure together, he offers a treasury of simple (and challenging!) practices that compassionately call us back to ourselves, to one another, and to action. More than a book for just this moment, it is a guide for each unsettled season."" --Karyn Richards-Kuan, Senior Pastor, First United Methodist Church of Portland ""Navigating Trumpworld maps paths of healing and renewal to help American democracy survive the Trump 2.0 turbulence that endangers it. Lowell Greathouse's 'rallying cry directed at hearts' resounds persuasively with wisdom, insight, and urgency. If we Americans follow where he leads, our country, ourselves, will get back on track."" --John K. Roth, Edward J. Sexton Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, Claremont McKenna College ""Curiosity, attentiveness, gratefulness--what affect do such practices have in our context of political and social upheavals? Greathouse clearly names the hostility and destructiveness of Trumpworld. Then he names practices that can connect our inner lives with our social contexts so we can counter tendencies of avoidance, rage, hopelessness, and isolation. Greathouse brings years of pastoring, activism, praying, reading, listening, and collaborating into the challenges we are facing. The practices that he names can bring life and hope into our lives, churches, and society."" --Mark Lau Branson, Senior Professor of Practical Theology, Fuller Theological Seminary ""It is a delicate dance not to trip up and stumble through--boldly calling out the evils of violation while embodying a compassion that extends to all. Lowell Greathouse shows us how to dance this dance with grace. Even in the midst of pain and oppression, he hears the music that emboldens the spirit; and he offers dance steps to be taken up into the song's liberative rhythms. If you are seeking a way to keep your soul alive during these crushing times, partner with Greathouse. Let Navigating Trumpworld serve as your guide. In the midst of it all, it shows us how to move in time with the restorative divine."" --Frank Rogers Jr., Co-Director, Center for Engaged Compassion
