Way Up Is Down

For writer, professor, and activist Marlena Graves, formation and justice always intertwine on the path to a balanced life of both action and contemplation. Drawing on the rich traditions of Eastern and Western Christian saints, she describes the process of emptying herself that allows her to move upward toward God and become the true self that God calls her to.

„Acum, cu ajutorul lui Dumnezeu, voi deveni eu insumi.” Aceste cuvinte ale filosofului danez Søren Kierkegaard rezoneaza profund cu Marlena Graves, o scriitoare, pastor si activista din Puerto Rico. In aceste pagini, ea descrie procesul de golire, care ii permite sa se deplaseze in sus catre Dumnezeu si sa devina adevaratul sine la care Dumnezeu o cheama.
