"A book for all readers who desire to read deeply and to live deeply"
Presenting reading as a remedy for prevalent cultural vices--distraction, hostility, and consumerism--this book helps readers contribute to the flourishing of their communities and cultivate their own spiritual and intellectual depth.
"This book eloquently joins the other voices calling us to soul-forming kinds of reading that can resist our descent into superficiality and hostility. Importantly, it goes beyond them in describing the actual practices that might get us there. All those who use text to teach others should read it. Anyone else who cares about reading and spiritual growth should join them."
--David I. Smith, Kuyers Institute for Christian Teaching and Learning, Calvin University
"Drawing from years of experience and research, Deep Reading offers insights, approaches, and practices to equip readers and teachers of readers. It's not only a book for teachers; it's a book for all readers who desire to read deeply and to live deeply as well."
--Karen Swallow Prior, author of The Evangelical Imagination: How Stories, Images, and Metaphors Created a Culture in Crisis
"Deep Reading ought to be read and wrestled with by all those who want to read carefully and well, and it's particularly essential for those tasked with guiding others' reading in the classroom, the church, or the home. With its wealth of creative and practical examples, this book will enliven our efforts to read redemptively."
--Jeffrey Bilbro, Grove City College; editor-in-chief at Front Porch Republic
"This jewel of a book will speak to readers of all sorts and inspire them to engage in deep, open, and generous reading."
--Susan VanZanten, Valparaiso University
"Deep Reading is highly recommended for any lovers of books, especially educators; we all have much more to learn about embodied, engaged, deeply human reading."
--Mary McCampbell, author of Imagining Our Neighbors as Ourselves: How Art Shapes Empathy |
