On the Brink of Everything

Parker Palmer

A Burning in My Bones: The Authorized Biography of Eugene H. Peterson

Winn Collier

*** $4.99 ***

“In the time of a generation-wide breakdown in trust with leaders in every sphere of society, Eugene’s quiet life of deep integrity and gospel purpose is a bright light against a dark backdrop. For years his life has been the North Star for my life and pastoral call. This seminal biography is an unmistakable call to quiet resistance against the way of the world and, when necessary, the way of the church. Only read this book if you’re ready to live differently.”—John Mark Comer, pastor for teaching and vision at Bridgetown Church and author of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry

Hope in the Dark: Untold Histories, Wild Possibilities

Rebecca Solnit

*** $2.99 ***

“An elegant reminder that activist victories are easily forgotten, and that they often come in extremely unexpected, roundabout ways.” —The New Yorker

#4:

You Are Not Your Own

Alan Noble

*** $2.99 ***

“In this timely meditation, Alan Noble reminds us that brokenness, loneliness, and purposelessness will not be conquered by living our best life, finding our true self, or even belonging to the right family, club, or church. To the contrary, our greatest fears and anxieties are not problems to be solved but mysteries to be embraced through the knowledge of self that comes only from knowing that the self belongs to Christ.” — John Inazu, Sally D. Danforth Distinguished Professor of Law and Religion at Washington University in St. Louis

#5:

Companions in the Darkness: Seven Saints Who Struggled with Depression and Doubt

Diana Gruver

*** $2.99 ***

“Diana Gruver writes with the wisdom and compassion of someone who knows the landscape of depression from the inside. In Companions in the Darkness Gruver introduces us to both well-known and lesser-known Christians who battled with despair and whose stories can speak words of comfort and solidarity to those who ache for healing and deliverance. This is a brave, nuanced, and vulnerable book that offers no easy answers but points unflinchingly to the God who companions us in the darkness.” — Sharon Garlough Brown, author of Shades of Light and the Sensible Shoes Series
