How parents and pastors can trade anxiety for authentic relationships
What do pastors and parents have in common? They often feel pressure to be in control.
If you’re an anxious parent watching your teens navigate an unpredictable world or a ministry leader overwhelmed by the pressure to “save” the church in today’s challenging landscape, Andy and Kara Root understand your struggle–and they’ve discovered a transformative path forward. They learned that releasing control actually helps us regain genuine connection.
When control-focused approaches to Christian parenting and church leadership left them exhausted, this ministry couple followed the ancient way of Saint Cuthbert and embarked on an extraordinary sixty-three-mile walking pilgrimage across England and Scotland with their two kids. In this book, they offer:
*strategies for parents to move from anxiety-driven control to faith-based guidance that strengthens family relationships,
*insights for pastors and ministry leaders on embracing uncertainty as a pathway to authentic spiritual leadership amid declining church attendance,
*biblical wisdom for modern parenting challenges to help you navigate raising teenagers in today’s tumultuous world, and
*wisdom for church leaders struggling with the pressure to single-handedly revitalize their ministries.
Through honest storytelling, spiritual reflection, and practical wisdom gained from their pilgrimage journey, Andy and Kara offer parents and pastors a refreshing alternative to the exhausting cycle of trying to control outcomes. Instead of paving the way for your children or congregation, learn how to walk alongside them with confidence and trust in God’s transformative grace.
Stop trying to control everything. Start experiencing the freedom and connection that comes from truly letting go.

Flying Falling Catching
$25.99Henri Nouwen’s never-before-published story of his surprising friendship with a traveling trapeze troupe.
During the last five years of his life, best-selling spiritual author Henri J. M. Nouwen became close to The Flying Rodleighs, a trapeze troupe in a traveling circus. Like Nouwen’s own life, a trapeze act is full of artistry, exhilarating successes, crushing failures and continual forgiveness. He wrote about his experience in a genre new to him: creative non-fiction.
In Flying, Falling, Catching, Nouwen’s colleague and friend Carolyn Whitney-Brown presents his unpublished trapeze writings framed by the true story of his rescue through a hotel window by paramedics during his first heart attack. Readers will meet Nouwen as a spiritual risk taker who was transformed through his engagement with these trapeze artists, as well as his participation in the Civil Rights movement, his life in community with people with intellectual disabilities, his personal growth through friendships during the 1990s AIDS pandemic, and other unexpected encounters.
What will we do with our lives, and with whom will we do it? In this story of flying and catching, Nouwen invites us all to let go and fly, even when we are afraid of falling.
