“This book is bread for the spiritual journey: nourishing, sustaining, and ultimately pointing to the One who feeds our deepest hunger and quenches our deepest thirst.”
— Rachel Kitchens, Refresh: Journal of Contemplative Spirituality
“This book will not only deepen your relationship with God and open you up to fresh ways of experiencing his transforming grace, but it will also help you develop a greater awareness of others and enable you to live a life of active worship.”
“While the agent of our transformation into Christ’s image is the Spirit, we are invited to partner with the living God in this process. This book brims over with stories of these partnerships and how they are lived out in creative, embodied and encultured practices.”
“The Halsteads are nothing short of modern-day prophets and mystics, and their voices are greatly valued in the over-industrialised and utilitarian West. ”
