“Few souls are as synced to the world’s mysteries as Barbara Brown Taylor’s....
Taylor writes spiritual nonfiction that rivals the poetic power of
C.S. Lewis and Frederick Buechner.”
(TIME)

Barbara Brown Taylor is the New York Times bestselling author of An Altar in the World, Learning to Walk in the Dark, and Holy Envy: Finding God in the Faith of Others.
