Every once in a while, a book comes along and one thinks: why has something so desperately needed taken so long? For just as we begin to think that everything about one of our greatest crises has already been written, too much talked about and too little done about, here is a book that takes away all the climate fatigue, all the silliness of the “what aboutisms,” all the jadedness of “We’ve heard it all,” all the frantic search for “something new.” Cynthia Moe-Lobeda’s wonderful book delivers everything it promises. Here is an invitation to the most intimate, and simultaneously most public and practical spirituality, to a collective yet intensely personal journey to a new beginning, an inspired and inspirational way of living that spans the generations. Honest, open, and entirely persuasive because it is so entirely authentic. It embraces us all with a gentle, and utterly irresistible inclusiveness, draws us into the book only to release us into the making of a different world. Seldom have I felt so fulfilled after reading a book, and I know why: this book was not simply written – it was birthed.
