Souls at Play is the third volume in the Holy Leisure trilogy, which began with Souls at Rest and Souls at Work. Holy leisure is the key to human being, freedom and generativity. Souls at Play considers the place of play in the life of persons growing up as effective, self-expressive, culture-changing Christians. The series examines what it means to be, and to become, a radically specific and fully realized human being - and what that means for the Church and the world.

Play is becoming a lost art, as a spirit of anti-play pervades the world. In the culture of death, play, art, and personhood all suffer loss. The Church turns toward a recovery of play - of childlikeness, creativity, and a culture of life - as she lifts up the human person in his wholeness and dignity. If you would be fully realized as yourself and as a collaborative member of the Body of Christ, consider yourself ready to become a soul at play!
