In an age of outrage, wonder is a quiet revolution
If you feel exhausted by the constant noise, uncertainty, or overall state of the world, you are not alone. Between culture debates, divisive politics, warfare and violence, and deep inequities, many of us feel unhappy and overwhelmed.
This is precisely the moment we need to reawaken the art of awe. More than a temporary escape, wonder can be a source of resilience and hope. Wonder and awe are not distractions from reality. They enable us to see reality more clearly. They help us move beyond fear and cynicism, deepen our connection with God and others, and remain open to beauty and possibility even in difficult times.
In The Art of Awe, spiritual director Nelson Boschman invites readers to rediscover wonder as a powerful spiritual practice for our anxious age. Drawing on wisdom from faith, psychology, contemplative spirituality, and everyday life, this book offers practical ways to cultivate awe, awaken curiosity, and reconnect with what matters most.
