This week's featured review: Madness, Theocracy, and Anarchism: Political and Cultural Reflections on the Church by Barry Harvey buff.ly/qHSDAvo

I would purchase a copy of this book for every one of you if I could. It is one of my favorite books of the year. Here's my review: www.spiritualityandpractice.com/book-reviews...

God-with-Us is more than a story of a Savior and a Liberator. It is the continuing story of the Ever-Creating One wooing us into wonder, love, justice and the “very good” and “grace upon grace” that the universe holds. –Diana Butler Bass (A Beautiful Year, 2025)

So wonderful to have #Earthbound included in @erbks.bsky.social's "Fifteen Important Theology Books of 2025!" @orbisbooks.bsky.social englewoodreview.org/important-th...

Into this silent night As we make our weary way We know not where; Just when the night becomes its darkest And we cannot see our path; Just then is when the angels rush in, Their hands full of stars. — Ann Weems (Winter solstice is on 12/21)
