Christianity Today 2023 Award of Merit (Culture & the Arts) How
do we become better people? Initiatives such as New Year's
resolutions, vision boards, thirty-day plans, and self-help books
often fail to compel us to live differently. We settle for small
goals--frugal spending, less yelling at the kids, more time at the
gym--but we are called to something far greater. We are created to
be holy. Award-winning author Jessica Hooten Wilson explains that
learning to hear the call of holiness requires cultivating a new
imagination--one rooted in the act of reading. Learning to read
with eyes attuned to the saints who populate great works of
literature moves us toward holiness, where God opens up a way of
living that extends far beyond what we can conjure for ourselves.
Literature has the power to show us what a holy life looks like,
and these depictions often scandalize even as they shape our
imagination. As such, careful reading becomes a sort of
countercultural spiritual discipline. The book includes
devotionals, prayers, wisdom from the saints, and more to help
individuals and groups cultivate a saintly imagination. Foreword by
Lauren F. Winner.
