Want to Read $ 8.99"The 'world-as-it-is,' as activists call it, is rife with possibility. It's ready to break open into the world-as-it-should-be. Part of crossing over the barrier is acting like we're already there. This is why protesting and working for change are not the only practices of revolution. We must dance, sing, cook, eat, and meet one another in love. Many call it foolishness, but we are cracking open the tomb and letting God's world break in."-Emily M.D. Scott, For All Who Hunger: Searching for Communion in a Shattered World
"It strikes me that the people who crowded around to help midwife St. Lydia's into being all had something in common. Each had the gift of seeing something that was coming, but had not yet arrived. Rachel could take a scrap of possibility--the rope that hung limp from a bucket--and notice that it was beautiful. Pastor Phil had the same gift, only he saw possibility in people. He was the kind of pastor who saw something true about you before you could see it yourself... This capacity--in an artist, a pastor, a parent, a prophet--is deeply tied to the work of God."-Emily M.D. Scott, For All Who Hunger: Searching for Communion in a Shattered World
"Creating something new was not a process of building or forcibly making, but of gestation. While the world was dominated by masculine notions of construction, my work was a silent, mysterious drawing together. I knit you together in your mother's womb, someone once said. The words echoed through history until someone else penned them on parchment in the poetry of the Psalms. The verse speaks of a God who weaves something new as cells split and divide and multiply in the dark and cavernous space inside us. Artists and writers know this place--a secret, soft cave of impulse and intuition."-Emily M.D. Scott, For All Who Hunger: Searching for Communion in a Shattered World
