“[Wirzba] writes movingly.”—Michael Doe, Church TimesAwarded the Virtues and Vocations Award sponsored by the University of Notre Dame“The ‘Hope in a Time of Crisis’ offered by Love’s Braided Dance refuses to tell stories that cast violence as heroic, instead celebrating the nonviolent creatives who have rapidly become humanity’s most realistic hope for transformation.—David James Duncan, author of The River Why, The Brothers K, and Sun House“A work of compressed, concentrated moral energy, full of stories that make vital connections and show how radical transformation happens.”—Rowan Williams, 104th Archbishop of Canterbury“Peering straight into the heart of the darkness of our violent world, Norman Wirzba invites us into a riveting journey of hope. Love’s Braided Dance choreographs a movement for a sacred dance of forgiveness with love and courage.”—Makoto Fujimura, artist and author of Art and Faith: A Theology of Making“In this beautifully written but unassuming book, Norman Wirzba takes us, his readers, lovingly by the hand while urging us to do the same with one another. Amidst the clamour of a world on fire, Wirzba’s counsel is as wise as it is compassionate. May the seeds of hope it plants take root and grow!”—Tim Ingold, University of Aberdeen
