Klappentext

In Making Hope, O'neil Van Horn explores how slow, still, and often quiet practices can cultivate hope for ourselves, each other, and our planetary home. With an accessible beauty, he shows how the ordinary things we do--mending, seed-saving, composting, and birding--can become new parables that might help us make hope where it is least felt and most needed. Meditative, inviting, and prayerful, Van Horn's writing compassionately makes space and time for readers to experience the meaningful practice of hope.
