Church of Shadow and Light is a call to transform the inner and outer conflicts that shape our world. This powerful collection delves into the interplay between shadow and light, inviting readers to embark on a profound journey of self-exploration and spiritual awakening. Through a blend of introspective inquiry, heartfelt prayer, and a vision for a more harmonious existence, Heidi Barr invites us to confront and heal the violence within ourselves and our communities. At its heart, Church of Shadow and Light is an urgent plea for peace, encouraging us to relinquish the weapons-both tangible and intangible-that perpetuate conflict. "What's worth going toward with your whole life?" Sit with the questions, and discover a path to personal and collective healing.

Heidi Barr didn't believe in Jesus. No one in her Jewish family did, nor did they want to--especially not her father, who told her that Jesus Christ was the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on humankind. So when Heidi was in a terrible horseback riding accident and died at age 16, Jesus was the last person she expected to see. Yet she did. And then she returned to life. This is the incredible true story of Heidi's difficult family life, her sudden death, her unexpectedly loving encounter with Jesus, and her return to life on earth as a person completely and irrevocably changed. This is also the story of Heidi loving her father and mother despite their disbelief of and disagreement with her faith. And this is the gripping, beautiful story of her parents' eventual reconciliation both with Heidi and with God, through the redeeming grace and all-encompassing love of Jesus Christ.

What does it mean to be just wild enough? This is a collection of poetry that explores wildness through the lens of the seasons, the elements, the four directions, and ultimately, through the mystery at the heart of it all. Author Heidi Barr invites a wander through one's own wildness, from finding songs in your pockets to befriending mossy logs to tuning your ears to ballads written by branches. Take a walk through words in this timeless collection and emerge more beautiful in your own creatureliness and more wonder-filled, than before.

Since 2012, The Wayfarer has been offering literature, interviews, and art with the intention to inspires our readers, enrich their lives, and highlight the power for agencyand change-making that each individual holds. By our definition, a wayfarer is one whose inner compass is ever-oriented to truth, wisdom, healing, and beauty in their own wandering. The Wayfarer's mission as a publication is to foster a community of contemplative voices and provide readers with resources and perspectives that support them in their own journey. As we move into our 8th year, in the face of these frightening times we must endure, we renew our commitment to our readers to be a space of solace and our pledge to advocate for marginalized communities, the arts, and environmental conservation.

Heidi Barr trodde ikke på Jesus. Det var det ingen i hennes jødiske familie som gjorde, og ingen ønsket det heller. Aller minst faren hennes, som mente at Jesus Kristus var det største bedraget menneskeheten noen gang har blitt utsatt for. Så da Heidi havnet i en alvorlig rideulykke og døde som 16-åring, var Jesus den siste personen hun forventet å møte. Likevel gjorde hun det. Og så ble hun, merkelig nok, sendt tilbake til livet. Dette er den helt makeløse og sanne historien om Heidis tøffe oppvekst, dødsulykken som kom brått på og det uventede og kjærlighetsfylte møtet hun fikk med Jesus. Etterpå vendte hun tilbake til livet, som nå var forvandlet for alltid. Det er også historien om Heidis kjærlighet til sin mor og far, på tross av deres vantro og avvisning av den nye troen på Jesus. Dessuten er det den gripende og vakre historien om hvordan foreldrene til slutt ble forsonet både med Heidi og med Gud, gjennom Jesu store nåde og Hans altomfattende kjærlighet.
