For those who want to walk with God and not get swept away with the world.

Award-winning author and professor Carolyn Weber teams up with her daughter Victoria, inviting us to choose a better pathway—one full of beauty, depth, and the presence of Jesus.

We’re living in a rushed, shallow world. We’re constantly pressured to hop on the latest trend. To be someone we’re not. We’re besieged by fake food, false friends, and fabricated realities.

Jesus invites us into immeasurably more.

In Walking with God in a Runaway World, Carolyn and Victoria Weber help us cultivate another kind of life—one that’s deeply connected with God and therefore life-giving and everlasting. Looking to Christian practices that have sustained and shaped saints who’ve gone before us, Carolyn and Victoria examine the art of contemplation as an antidote to the too often empty rush and inauthenticity of this world. With the Webers, you’ll:

• Cultivate the Christian virtues of faith, hope, and love
• Discover the Good, the Beautiful, the True
• Explore formation, fellowship, and what it means to be human
• Learn about the Ignatian tradition of the examen and Benedictine tradition of lectio divina
• Engage music, art, poetry, and nature as worship
• Gain insight into Scripture, contemplative prayer, the practice of holy listening, holy responding, and much more

Walking with God in a Runaway World offers us a way to slow down and be in God’s presence . . . to discern our way through the static and distractions towards the real of Christ. We can live a distinct life in step with Jesus, but we need tools and direction. This book is the beginning of a lifelong journey of beholding, listening, and love.
