What Readers Have to Say
I read a chapter a night with my coffee, and more than once I had to put the book down and just sit with it. The wine chapter especially, I’ve never thought about communion that way before.

My small group picked this up not knowing what to expect, and it sparked some of the best conversations we’ve had in years. It’s less ‘teaching’ and more like eavesdropping on someone’s prayer life. Beautiful and strange in the best way.
Rosalind Vance

The language is thick, poetic, almost like scripture itself, it took me longer to get through than I expected, but I kept underlining things. The chapter about his childhood and the bully hit me hard.

Home is often thought of as a place, but for many families facing war and loss, home slowly becomes the people they refuse to leave behind.
