The way they relate with Christ and one another in grief, disappointment, celebration, and joy served as a kind companion to me personally, as well as a creative reminder of some of my favorite spiritual practices.</p>--Emily P. Freeman, author of Simply Tuesday<br><br><p>How grateful I am to be reunited with Hannah, Meg, Mara, and Charissa, my friends in Sharon Garlough Brown's Sensible Shoes series. Having already journeyed with them through seasons of growth and change, I was eager to see what this third novel, <em>Barefoot</em>, would reveal. And what a tender story ensued as these women faced both serendipitous joy and heart-wrenching sorrow. The thread of being in a supportive prayer circle is powerful in each of these books, and the valuable spiritual exercises woven throughout help us to process as well. . . . <em>Barefoot</em> brings us gently to the place where we know the only adequate response is to take off our shoes and stand before God on holy ground.</p>--Lucinda Secrest McDowell, author of Dwelling Places<br><br><p>Poignant and achingly beautiful, each woman progresses in her walk and in community. Recommended for women who are passionate about seeking God. Insightful study guide included.</p>--Kristine Wilson, Christian Market, November 2016<br><br><p>Prepare to be encouraged, inspired, stretched, and wrung out by <em>Barefoot</em>. This enriching novel reveals God's transforming presence in the lives of four imperfect but beloved friends. Don't miss it.</p>--Amy Boucher Pye, author of Finding Myself in Britain<br><br><p>Sharon Garlough Brown does not disappoint. That's because what undergirds all of her books is deep truth. One reads them and thinks, <em>yes, that's how churches can be</em>, or <em>yes, that's what it's like to parent a twenty-something</em>, or <em>yes, that's a friendship that mirrors mine.</em> But the deepest truth when we read her books is this one: <em>yes, that's what a life of faith looks like--battered yet sustained, wounded yet deeply hopeful that God is up to something.</em> These books resonate because they feel so true and because this is how we long to be: barefoot, surrendered, saying <em>here I am</em> to the One who guides our steps.</p>--Mary Hulst, college chaplain, Calvin College, author of A Little Handbook for Preachers<br><br><p>Sharon Garlough Brown may be a novelist, but she's also a portrait artist, painting with tender detail the souls of four women on a spiritual journey. This third installment is harrowing, lovely, joyous--like life, like faith. Beautifully rendered!</p>--Sarah Arthur, author of Between Midnight and Dawn<br><br><p>Whether or not you've been a devoted reader of Sharon Garlough Brown's Sensible Shoes series, you will find yourself in the lives of the four women of <em>Barefoot</em>--in their gratitude and grief, their longings and resilient hopes. Most importantly, you'll meet Jesus, who startles us with this never-ending surprise: we are his beloved.</p>--Jen Pollock Michel, author of Teach Us to Want<br>
