On our latest podcast episode, our new managing editor of Englewood Press, Lindsey Cornett, sat down with Mariko Clark and Rachel Eleanor, the writer and illustrator respectively of the brand-new Book of Belonging, a collection of Bible stories for children.
One of the things they discussed was the power in this depiction of God—a loving, divine presence who holds us in times of grief or struggle. We hope this image brings you comfort in the days ahead.
To listen to the episode, search for The Englewood Review of Books podcast in your favorite podcast app. @thebookofbelonging @marikoclark @rachel.eleanor.art

Looking forward to this new book by O. Alan Noble!
On Getting Out of Bed (Coming April 18 from InterVarsity Press)
We aren’t always honest about how difficult normal human life is.
For the majority of people, sorrow, despair, anxiety, and mental illness are everyday experiences. While we have made tremendous advancements in therapy and psychiatry, the burden of living still comes down to mundane choices that we each must make—like the daily choice to get out of bed.
In this deeply personal essay, Alan Noble considers the unique burden of everyday life in the modern world. Sometimes, he writes, the choice to carry on amid great suffering—to simply get out of bed—is itself a powerful witness to the goodness of life, and of God.
