Leaves and branches : how we clutter our lives, minds, and souls -- Beneath the canopy : hearing what's been there all along -- Broken limbs : do you want to be well? -- Seeds of desire : facing your deepest brokenness -- The hard prune : letting go of the last handhold -- The far side of the wilderness : following God, even when you can't see the way through -- Rooted : practicing the discipline of staying in place -- Twine and splint : two steps forward, one step back -- Way closes, way opens : on coming alive -- Water, wood, air, and stone : we are better together

"Weaving relatable personal narrative with practical suggestions, this book offers a way to get past our culture's noise and empty promises to find something far more significant and valuable: our truest God-created selves"--
