Event Info
Wild Hope Book Reading & Signing
Pangolins and polar bears, olms, lemurs, and leopards. We share this beautiful blue-green globe with creatures magnificent, delicate, intricate—and now vanishing at a faster rate than at any other time in Earth’s history.
Their stories wake in us wonder and grief—and a wild hope that from all this death and ruin, something new could rise. The promise of Christ is that something new will rise. In fact, as these stories also attest, our hope, though wild, is not impossible and is already loose in the world.
Join Gayle Boss as she reads from her new book, Wild Hope: Stories for Lent from the Vanishing. A reception and book signing will follow.
