“This book invites us into journeys with grief and wonder, hope and healing, fierce faith and thick love. Tony Vick and Jeff Noland capture what it means to build beloved community in the worst places, to claim life in the midst of death, to practice hope in spite of the hell around you. As Vick writes, ‘There is always hope. Fight for it, every day!’”
—Janet L. Wolf, author of Practicing Resurrection: The Gospel of Mark and Radical Discipleship
