It is still over a month before the official release of Holy Nomad: The Rugged Road to Joy. The final page proofs of the book are just now being sent off to the printer in time for September release. I’ve been very excited by some of the early (and very gracious) endorsements & reviews. I wanted to take a moment to share them with my friends in hopes that you might pass them on to folks who may be interested:
“Holy Nomad is like a great John Lennon song. Matt Litton is a great writer, poetic, thought-provoking, powerful. I highly recommend this book.” — Johnathon Schaech, actor, director, writer (That Thing You Do, How to Make an American Quilt, Quarantine)
“If you, like me, are earnestly trying to follow the call of this Holy Nomad named Jesus, this book should be part of your journey. If you have lost your Joy, this can begin your journey to not only find it, but reclaim it.” — Mark Sandlin, TheGodArticle.com, Huffington Post
“Holy Nomad puts Litton’s skills as a writer on display. His organization of his thoughts and the language he uses to communicate them contain a movement of their own, which makes the book sometimes surprising and always readable. Holy Nomad will be helpful to both small groups and individual readers who wish to take a closer look at discipleship in motion.” — Eric Van Meter, (from Ministry Matters – Book Review)
“To take on the endeavor of challenging followers of Jesus to embrace the inevitable nomadic Spiritual life is not for the faint of heart. Yet, Matt Litton, through vulnerability, gentleness, and grace, has invited us to rediscover Christ’s beckoning. The nomad’s journey Litton so masterfully enlightens for us comes with all kinds of uncomfortable realities, but I believe it’s a message the people of faith need…” — Matt Chambers, Director and Co-Founder of SafeWorld
“Matt Litton beckons a poetic existence to my everyday spirituality in Holy Nomad. This book reminds me that I, even I, am shrouded in the presence of the Holy that calls me forth from the fabric seeking to define me and lifts me from the dank, dark places threatening to bury me.” — Chet Bush, Pastor & Author of Called to the Fire — A Witness for God in Mississippi
“Books on spirituality often assume, first & foremost, that we are honest with ourselves when it comes to the frightening task of “walking the Walk,” of following Christ. With passionate (and compassionate) heart & deft pen, Matt Litton closes our escape routes. Instead the author offers us a portrayal of life with Christ as one in which we journey, hand in hand, with the Holy Nomad: Jesus Christ.” — Bill Mallonee, singer/songwriter
“Matt Litton is a man who walks his talk. I’ve found him and his insights to be very helpful to me as I continue progressing to be the man of God I want to be.” — Brian Tome, Senior Pastor, Crossroads Church
“People who believe that joy is found in getting to where you are going…should not read this book. Matt Litton introduces us to a radically different way to live, the way of Jesus, the joyous Nomad of life… Joy is found in the journey with Jesus, not in our ability to play God over our life.” — Dan Boone, President, Trevecca Nazarene University
Also hoping to post a sample chapter or two of the Nomad for you to read in the next couple of weeks!
Thanks for visiting,
