""In the Company of the Weary is a wise and sage guide from the hand and heart of someone who has actually done the work to grieve, suffer, and endure weariness well. This book is a hand to those who are unable to find the courage to take the next step. And it will be a blessing to a new generation of weary souls.""--A.J. Swoboda, pastor of Faith Center in Eugene, Oregon, and author of Slow Theology (2/11/2026 12:00:00 AM) ""In The Company of the Weary is a field guide, not a formula, for hope and flourishing for the lives we actually live, not the ones we wish we had. Becky gently provides guidance for those of us who feel as if the world is crashing down all around us, and who may doubt the possibility of ever again seeing goodness in the land of the living. She does this while readily acknowledging that healing and growth are slow work: They cannot be rushed or forced. Becky has skillfully interwoven the wisdom of the Scriptures, ancients, and contemplative Christians throughout history with her own story.""--Marlena Graves, speaker, professor of Spiritual Formation, and author of Bearing God (2/11/2026 12:00:00 AM) ""Relatable, accessible, and mystical--these are among the many adjectives one might use to characterize what Becky has gifted to us through In the Company of the Weary. She is a seasoned soul who refuses to sanitize or sentimentalize the complexities of faith. Instead, Becky invites us into the sacred task of engaging our souls through the panoply of spiritual practices.""--AJ Sherrill, pastor and author of Being WIth God (2/11/2026 12:00:00 AM) ""Becky L. McCoy writes with a contemplative heart and rare compassion. Through ten transformative practices that honor both our weariness and our deepest longings, she offers a gentle roadmap for the exhausted spirit. From walking labyrinths to exploring sacred art, McCoy reimagines ancient spiritual disciplines for modern life. In the Company of the Weary is a tender companion for anyone seeking to rediscover God's presence amid life's most challenging seasons.""--Brandon Nappi, DMin, lecturer at Yale Divinity School (2/11/2026 12:00:00 AM) ""Becky McCoy serves as both guide and fellow traveler on the journey of grief. For those who feel lost and uncertain in their sorrow, In the Company of the Weary is a gentle nudge to take the next right step.""--Amanda Held Opelt, author of Holy Unhappines (2/11/2026 12:00:00 AM) ""Becky's fresh interpretation of ancient spiritual practices is rooted in her own life, and she offers meaningful ways to adapt them to yours--wherever you may find yourself. If you are exhausted by the trappings of what you think your faith life is supposed to look like, you will find her suggestions refreshing. Becky leads us down an old path toward a new experience of God.""--Amy Lively, author of Can I Borrow a Cup of Hope? (2/11/2026 12:00:00 AM) ""Like a wise and honest friend, Becky writes with both profound authenticity that lets us know we're not alone in our struggles, and deep and hard-earned wisdom that offers us a way forward in the midst of our complex stories.""--Nathan Clarkson, cohost of the Overthinkers podcast and best-selling author (2/11/2026 12:00:00 AM) ""So many of us know what it feels like to be exhausted in body and soul. In the Company of the Weary offers us the cool refreshment of contemplative spiritual practices. McCoy gives us her take on these ancient practices with compassion, curiosity, and courage. I especially appreciated her grace-filled attention to the challenges of chronically ill Christians.""--Dena Douglas Hobbs, author of Lift Up Your Eyes and coauthor of When Anxiety Strikes (2/11/2026 12:00:00 AM) ""What do you do when the usual recommendations, such as church attendance, Bible study, and spiritual disciplines, become impossible? This invitation into Becky McCoy's story of devastating loss and hard-won healing is raw and real, going places the typical religious platitudes and habits can't. In the Company of the Weary is the book I wish I could hand to every person who has quietly wondered whether there's room for them in a faith that seems to demand more than they can give.""--Susy Flory, founder of West Coast Christian Writers and best-selling author (2/11/2026 12:00:00 AM) ""With generous candor and wit, Becky shares from the deep wells of her own journey with God through illness, grief, doubt, and pain in thoughtful ways that will help others in their own dark and turbulent seasons. None of the afflictions of loss or confusion or exhaustion can separate us from the love of God. Instructive but never didactic, richly resourced but never pedantic, borrowing widely from different faith traditions but always hewing to her own strong faith, steadfastly affirming of the reader. This book is a gem and will be a lifeline to many.""--Deborah Smith Douglas, author of The Praying Life and coauthor of Pilgrims in the Kingdom (2/11/2026 12:00:00 AM)
