This is a sturdy book, a thoroughly satisfying and totally credible book. Well conceived and well executed, it offers honest words about holy things, which means that it is also a brave book. I, for one, am grateful.
Phyllis Tickle, author, The Age of the Spirit
DISQUIET TIME takes us down a thrilling, provocative, and often beautiful path that leads to the deepest parts of ourselves, and the deepest parts of Christ. This book is for folks who dont just want to read the Bible; they want to laugh, wrestle, and cry with the Bible. And thats just the place God wants us to be.
Joshua DuBois, former head of the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships and author of The Presidents Devotional
DISQUIET TIME is a devotional for humans, a daily reading for the messy, doubt-filled, sometimes irreverent people who love God or hope to someday. Though hinged on some of the Bibles most deranged narratives, [the book] is strangely comforting, a spiritual hodgepodge that is deep and convicting, hopeful and honest, quirky and wise. For believers, cynics, and misfit souls, DISQUIET TIME is a welcome invitation to doubt, laugh, fight, debate, and trust.
Matthew Paul Turner, author of Our Great Big American God and Churched
This rich collection of essays is thoughtful, engaging, and provocative. A must-read.
Margaret Feinberg, author of Wonderstruck
Cathleen and Jennifer are wonderful writers as well as wonderful people and this collection of wonderful essays is, in a word, lovely. You thought I was going to say wonderful, didnt you? Im AN ENIGMA!!
Pete Holmes, comedian and talk show host
For our children
Theo, Ian, Isabel, Mia, and Vasco
May you engage with Gods word throughout your life;
May you be in community with other people of faith;
May you dare to ask tough questions;
May you be content not knowing all the answers;
May you always be real before God in the joys and sorrows of living;
May you be still enough to hear Gods voice;
May you have the eyes to see Gods grace all around you and extend it to others;
And may you ever rest in Gods immeasurable, unchanging love for you.
The weight of this sad time we must obey;
Speak what we feel, not what we ought to say.
William Shakespeare, King Lear, act 5, scene 2
M any years ago I wrote a phrase that keeps coming back to me from various sources: Stories are verbal acts of hospitality.
