I am reviewing a copy of The Way Up is Down through InterVarsity Press and Netgalley:

In The Way Up Is Down Marlena Graves describes the process of emptying herself in order to become closer to God. She draws on the rich traditions of Eastern and Western Christian saints.

Marlena Graves describes her daily and desperate need for a relationship with him as a physical hunger.

Marlena shares stories and insights that have enlivened her transformation. For Marlena, formation and justice always intertwine on the path to a balanced life of both action and contemplation. If you long for more of God, this book offers a time-honored path to deeper life.

I give The Way Up is Down five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!
