Description
Curiosity slows us down, tunes us in for transformation, pushes past shame, activates awe, and rewrites with hope.
What if our most accessible resource for healing and transformation is ready and waiting to be harnessed? When everything feels gray and hopeless, curiosity emerges as an unexpected path back to color and life. Sacred Curiosity explores how the simple practice of remaining open to wonder can become a powerful force for personal and communal renewal.
Through personal stories, spiritual reflection, and practical ideas, Britney Winn Lee reveals how curiosity slows us down when life feels overwhelming, builds bridges across our deepest divisions, pushes past shame toward liberation, and rewilds our domesticated spirits. Neither a theological treatise nor a scientific study, and yet somehow a wonder-filled blend of the two, this book offers a heartfelt exploration of curiosity as both grace and practice. Lee writes as a fellow pilgrim who has experienced curiosity's transformative power firsthand--hating and fearing less through its freeing and connective guidance.
With reflection questions for individuals or groups, the book invites us to experience curiosity not as a luxury or personality trait, but as an indispensable value for navigating our complex world. It's an invitation to follow breadcrumbs of wonder toward a more generous, hopeful way of being. For anyone seeking renewal amid exhaustion or connection across difference, this book suggests that God--and healing, wholeness, and resurrection--might be found not only in being correct, but in being curious.
Advance Praise
“I love this book. I love that its author is a creative, insightful, and honest person. I love that it emerged from a tough time in the author’s life. I love its tone (friendly, gentle, inviting) and its depth (intelligent, well-researched, yet accessible to all). And I love its subject, because curiosity (rather than certainty or control) is the key to so many of the best things in life, including spiritual growth and personal freedom, as you will discover in Sacred Curiosity.”
—Brian McLaren, author of Faith After Doubt and The Last Voyage
“Wow, what a powerful invitation to wonder and wander our way through the beautiful chaos of life and the world. Curiosity has always been one of my favorite lenses of faith, but Lee has given it new flesh, depth, and texture for my journey going forth—and I have no doubt will do the same for you.”
—Rev. Bruce Reyes-Chow, activist and author of In Defense of Kindness and Everything Good about God Is True
“With wonder, awe, and a bit of holy mischief, Britney Winn Lee begs the reader to pull up a seat on the banks of the bayou and embrace the grace of curiosity. A fellow sojourner, she shows the rest of us how to ask questions, hunker down in the glory of the everyday, and embrace a necessary, soulful rewilding. Sacred Curiosity is for the storytellers, the history-makers, the prophets, the troublemakers, and all who stoke holy fires of marvel along the way.
—Cara Meredith, author of Church Camp
