You Are a Tree

You Are a Tree

FROM SARAH:

You are a tree. You are also not a tree. We love a good metaphor, and this book is chock full of them, alongside Joy Clarkson's wit and wisdom.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

You Are a Tree examines how the metaphorical descriptions we use in everyday life shape the way we think, pray, and live. Weaving together meditations on our common human experiences, poetry, Scripture, and the Christian tradition, Joy Marie Clarkson explores how metaphors help us understand things like wisdom, security, love, change, and sadness.

This Beautiful Truth

This Beautiful Truth

FROM SARAH:

A work of deep courage in gorgeous prose. As she walks us through her very personal journey with OCD, Sarah Clarkson helps us see how our own pain, regardless of its source, can be overcome if we can simply allow ourselves to be immersed in the beauty of God. What kind of God, after all, would have given us a world suffused with beauty, with dancing buttercups and loving friends, with feasts spread before us and with the hopeful message of eternity, delivered in the incarnation? Only a loving God, who made us to create and to love and to hope in his image. This is a book for all seasons, all ages, all places.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

In This Beautiful Truth, Sarah Clarkson shares her own encounters with beauty in the midst of her decade-long struggle with mental illness, depression, and doubt. In a voice both vulnerable and reflective, she paints a compelling picture of the God who reaches out to us in a real and powerful way through the "taste and see" goodness of what he has made and what he continues to create amid our darkness. "To recognize and trust God's gift in pain," she writes, "empowers us to create and love as powerful witnesses to God's healing love in a hopeless world."

Adorning the Darkness

Adorning the Darkness

FROM SARAH:

Just when we thought we couldn't love Andrew Peterson any more... !!! This book will make you wonder, make you think, and make you glad to be alive. Partly a memoir, partly a consideration of our role in creating alongside the Creator.

FROM THE PUBLISHER:

Over the last twenty years, Andrew Peterson has performed thousands of concerts, published four novels, released ten albums, taught college and seminary classes on writing, founded a nonprofit ministry for Christians in the arts, and executive-produced a film—all in a belief that God calls us to proclaim the gospel and the coming kingdom using whatever gifts are at our disposal. He’s stumbled along the way, made mistake after mistake, and yet has continually encountered the grace of God through an encouraging family, a Christ-centered community of artists in the church, and the power of truth, beauty, and goodness in Scripture and the arts.
