"""If, like me, you are searching for a way to remove yourself from the woke/anti-woke echo chamber, and if you are looking for a thoughtful, mature way to think about Christian participation in society, read Deep and Wide. Evan Howard's exploration of monasticism as a model for socio-political engagement will indeed deepen your understanding and give you an imagination for godly and effective social action."" --Todd Hunter, author of Deep Peace ""A heartfelt challenge to merge deep contemplative prayer with effective political action through pertinent philosophical musings, thoughtful biblical insights, and ancient and contemporary spiritual wisdom woven together with stories and examples--a message for our times."" --Elizabeth Liebert, author of The Soul of Discernment ""The political arena attracts corrupt power seekers and sensational headline grabbers more often than people who genuinely seek truth and the common good. By contrast, I heartily commend Evan Howard's inspiring stories of public witness for social justice and moral integrity from both ancient and contemporary Christian communities. Their witness reaches far beyond their numbers and subsequent generations continue to draw strength from their fidelity."" --David Janzen, author of Seven Radical Elders"
