To Wake, To Rise: Meditations on Justice and Resilience

by William G. Sinkford (Editor)

The 2017 edition of the UUA inSpirit series is an anthology of 29 poems, prayers, and reflections about resisting oppression and keeping the faith in social action work. Written by a range of contributors, including ministers and lay leaders, these readings are ideal for both private contemplation and for use in worship. Collected and introduced by a former president of the UUA—and the first Black person to hold that position—these meditations are both a support for activists and a call to action in a new era of political and social division.

[Sarah Scalet · Rating 3 out of 5]

Disappointing. It felt hastily hobbled together, when what I wanted was consistently deep, honest pieces put together in a thoughtful way. I wanted to like it, but most of the pieces felt unfinished.

Some gems in this collection.

Really 3.5 Slow savoring the readings in this slim volume. Hit and miss as far as inspiring me.
