Staying Real and Low to the Ground: PW Talks to Ann Voskamp
Voskamp’s debut book about the transformative spiritual discipline of gratitude, One Thousand Gifts (Zondervan, 2011), sold over one million copies, charted for 60 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, and has been translated into 20 languages. Her new book The Broken Way is an exploration of suffering as a pathway to humility, deeper human connections, and radical generosity. “I want readers to embrace the fact that wholeness and brokenness are not opposites,” she said. “We’re all desperate for connection and communion. To know we’re not alone, and that communion only comes out of brokenness—that’s the miracle.”
Good News for Hard Times: Lisa Sharon Harper and the "Very Good" Gospel 
In her new book ‘The Very Good Gospel,’ Harper examines the first three chapters of Genesis to reveal readings from the gospel that speak to today’s anxious minds, racial divisions, and threats of violence. “The work of the kingdom of God is not to make us perfect,” says Harper. “The work of the kingdom of God is to make us whole and reconnected to God, to each other, to the rest of creation, and to ourselves.” Throughout the book, Harper weaves her biblical findings together with her own personal story and moments in history in order to inspire readers. “I was a child survivor of bullying, sexual abuse, and divorce,” Harper tells PW. “I learned early in life that the bruised places are where God presses in and shows up.”
