Praise

 

Praise for After Doubt 

“With pastoral insight, Swoboda brings doubt into the open, removing the shame and inviting us into practices that draw us back into our bodies, communities, and tradition. After Doubt builds our capacity and courage for the normal, lifelong process of being formed in the wrestling.”

MANDY SMITH,
pastor and author of Unfettered: Imagining a Childlike Faith beyond the Baggage of Western Culture and The Vulnerable Pastor

Praise for Subversive Sabbath

 “Few things are as subversive to the hurry addiction of the modern world than the practice of Sabbath. And few things are as life-or-death important. A. J. has written his best book yet. His keen mind, quick wit, and deep soulfulness come through beautifully, page by captivating page. But more than anything, this is a book that is lived. My new go-to book on the Sabbath.”

JOHN MARK COMER,
pastor of teaching and vision, Bridgetown Church;
author of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry

Praise for The Dusty Ones

 “Drawing on the stories of biblical characters and historical figures, Swoboda reminds us that God has always walked alongside his people, even through life’s more arduous terrain: God walks with wanderers and speaks to wandering hearts. A. J.’s words are like water in our own wilderness, reminding us that God is forging a deep work in our desert spaces. May we all have the courage to live as one of the dusty ones.”
