Releasing Control, Reclaiming Connection
Andy and Kara Root were anxious--anxious about their teenaged children approaching adulthood in a tumultuous world and anxious about their ministries. If only they could control the circumstances faced by those who depended on them, they could ensure their success.
But maybe the solution isn't paving the way for our kids or our congregations. Maybe it's hiking the long road alongside them.
Andy and Kara took this literally. Following the way of St. Cuthbert, they embarked with their kids on a sixty-three-mile walking pilgrimage in England and Scotland. Over the course of their journey, Andy and Kara learned that when we release control, we can regain connection--with our families, with fellow pilgrims along the road, with nature, and with God--and open ourselves up to God's transformative grace.
"Andy and Kara show us how to live as pastors, parents, and Christians with grace, conviction, and assurance that God is yet with us. A wonderfully inspiring, immediately helpful book."
--Will Willimon, author of Accidental Preacher: A Memoir; Duke Divinity School; United Methodist bishop, retired
"A gentle, unflinching companion for anxious parents and worn-out church leaders. This isn't another book of parenting hacks or pastoral tricks--it's a soulful invitation to walk with trust, to make peace with uncertainty, and to recognize and name the presence of God in the midst of it all."
--Amanda Hontz Drury, Indiana Wesleyan University
"This book is a gift to all who seek to walk with God in the uncontrollable terrain of real life."
--John Swinton, University of Aberdeen; author of Finding Jesus in the Storm: The Spiritual Lives of Christians with Mental Health Challenges
"A delicately woven, wonderfully written, and truly eye-opening book."
--Hartmut Rosa, Friedrich Schiller University
