In her quest to live a vibrant spiritual life, Karen Wright Marsh had a revelation: she didn't need to find and follow the perfect plan; she needed people she could follow. In Wake Up to Wonder, Marsh introduces us to those people-faithful yet oh-so-human Christians from across centuries and cultures. Inspired by their example, she offers playful, simple practices that bring deeper meaning and purpose to everyday life. In the company of diverse spiritual companions-from Dorothy Day, Francis of Assisi, and Fannie Lou Hamer to Patrick of Ireland, Wangari Maathai, and Henri Nouwen-listeners journey through physical health, prayer, activism, Scripture reading, creativity, and beyond. Each chapter includes hands-on invitations such as writing prompts, space for personal reflection, and "Try This," a collage of spiritual and personal experiments anyone can do. As listeners wake up to wonder, they'll discover what these twenty-two historical figures already knew: that a life of spiritual depth, amazement, and connection is within reach-today and every day.

      The author describes how the lives of 22 historical figures inspired her in ways that promoted personal freedom, emotional growth, and spirituality in the Christian tradition. Narrator Siiri Scott's melodic voice and enthusiasm work well to convey the author's humanitarian message and these well-crafted profiles. Her grasp of Karen Wright Marsh's values and arresting invitations gives this writing memorable impact. The author says optimal engagement with life is about paying attention not only to the teachings of Christianity, but also to the divine beauty manifested in ourselves and the world. Her empowering message focuses on the choices all of us can make in the way we live and the way we draw power from the spiritual realm. T.W. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
