From the rear cover
"A rich blend of theology, devotional, and memoir"
"An extraordinary debut from one of today's most promising new authors. In the tradition of the prophets, Marlena Graves sings a wilderness song, seamlessly connecting her own story to both the biblical narrative and the questions, struggles, and joys of all who travel the wilderness road. With a voice that is gentle and strong, passionate and mature, Graves invites the reader to pay attention, to be still and know God."
--Rachel Held Evans, author of A Year of Biblical Womanhood
"Marlena Graves explores the spiritual wilderness with a host of fellow travelers, from biblical personae to the ancient church to present company. She mines their wisdom about getting through life's deserts and eloquently shares lessons she has learned through her own brokenness."
--Dennis Okholm, author of Monk Habits for Everyday People
"To move through brokenness, we need to be both gently reflective and boldly courageous. Marlena Graves combines this unusual blend of necessary pursuits so that we don't simply 'get through it, ' but move into a transformed life of flourishing daily in the kingdom of God."
--Jan Johnson, author of Invitation to the Jesus Life
"Marlena Graves's gentle wisdom, pastoral tenderness, and graceful conviction strengthen my soul. Meditating on Scripture and the wisdom of the desert mothers and fathers, she offers a balm to the hurting and hope that our dry and weary times will, with God's help, bloom into something beautiful."
--Rachel Marie Stone, author of Eat with Joy
"A Beautiful Disaster offers up a rich blend of theology, devotional, and memoir--and at times breaks into sheer poetry. Marlena Graves is one of the most gifted thinkers and writers of her generation."
--Karen Swallow Prior, author of Booked: Literature in the Soul of Me
"Marlena Graves writes with freshness and a clear, cool sense of authority as she guides us through Christ's wilderness, one metaphor at a time. She speaks as one who knows the consoling, challenging presence of God firsthand."
--Emilie Griffin, author of Wilderness Time and Souls in Full Sail
"Marlena has experienced God's promise of making a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert to comfort and train those he loves. There is hope, help, and encouragement for each of us in these pages."
