Riassunto

Explore the work of beloved writers from Sojourners magazine on spiritual thriving, living simply, and engaging with our communities. For five decades, Sojourners magazine has been deeply engaged with the world while calling its readers to a new kind of life and faith rooted in justice and peace. This legacy stands in stark contrast to our culture, which too often links a person's value to the amount they produce or consume, pushing each of us to do and be more, fraying our connections and deadening our souls. As Christian nationalism and authoritarianism gain more and more cultural power, we don't need less soul, but more. We need a more resilient faith that can resist power and principalities and prophetically imagine an alternative world, centered in justice and love. Integral to this kind of prophetic faith is a commitment to simple spiritual practices and communal connections. Even in the most dire and demoralizing times, practices of contemplation, sabbath rest, and community offer sustenance and power. Light for the Way is a powerful, yet meditative collection of pieces from the last fifty years of Sojourners magazine, exploring how contemplative practices, rest, simplicity, environmental engagement, and communal care are essential for sustaining our resistance and repairing our world. And Sojourners continues that work today. With essays from beloved spiritual writers, including Julia Alvarez, Margaret Atwood, Walter Brueggemann, Kaitlin Curtice, Rosemarie Freeney Harding, and Richard Rohr, Light for the Way is a soulful companion.
