After nearly two years of instability and uncertainty, you may have found yourself craving moments of peace, of quiet, of reflection. Moments of space.
There’s perhaps no better way to find that space than in the pages of a good book. The written words of others provide the weary with a moment of reprieve. Stories that ring with familiarity ease loneliness and clear confusion. Books that offer new insights give readers permission to adopt important ideas, develop new rhythms, or simply escape for just a moment. The gift of space is a gift of grace—one that says, “yes, a global pandemic can still be felt. Yes, the new normal is perpetually elusive. But you can pause for a while—it’s okay.”
This year, we’re partnering with publishers to help you do unto others as you would have them do unto you: give the gift of restful space with a book (or two) that can help us all catch our breath, if even just for a moment.
