by Karen Wright Marsh (Author)

In her quest to live a vibrant spiritual life, Karen Wright Marsh had a revelation: she didn't need to find and follow the perfect plan; she needed people she could follow.

In Wake Up to Wonder, Marsh introduces us to those people--faithful yet oh-so-human Christians from across centuries and cultures. Inspired by their example, she offers playful, simple practices that bring deeper meaning and purpose to everyday life.

In the company of diverse spiritual companions--from Dorothy Day, Francis of Assisi, and Fannie Lou Hamer to Patrick of Ireland, Wangari Maathai, and Henri Nouwen--readers journey through physical health, prayer, activism, Scripture reading, creativity, and beyond. Each chapter includes hands-on invitations such as writing prompts, space for personal reflection, and "Try This," a collage of spiritual and personal experiments anyone can do. As readers wake up to wonder, they'll discover what these twenty-two historical figures already knew: that a life of spiritual depth, amazement, and connection is within reach--today and every day.

A life of spiritual depth, amazement, and connection is within reach--today and every day

In her quest to live a vibrant spiritual life, Karen Wright Marsh had a revelation: she didn't need to follow the perfect plan; she needed people she could follow. Grounded in the embodied spirituality of Christians who have lived it best, Wake Up to Wonder introduces twenty-two playful, simple practices that bring deeper meaning and purpose to everyday life.

Covering topics such as physical health, prayer, activism, Scripture reading, and creativity, Wake Up to Wonder guides us toward living a centered, abundant life. Each chapter includes hands-on invitations such as writing prompts and "Try This," a collage of spiritual and personal experiments anyone can do.

"Get ready to meet a delightful assortment of fellow travelers who will guide you toward a Jesus-centered, hope-filled life. This is a book you will go back to many times!"
--The Most Rev. Michael B. Curry, presiding bishop of The Episcopal Church; author of Love Is the Way and Crazy Christians

"Marsh's beautiful new book introduces readers to some of the women and men who have guided her along life's difficult but also delightful paths, helping her--and now us--find a way to wonder and joy."
--James Martin, SJ, author of The Jesuit Guide
