Author of Burning down the Fireproof Hotel, part spiritual memoir, part manifesto for living a spacious life. 

"Cary Umhau had everything she'd ever wanted -- beautiful children, a healthy bank account, even, she'd been told, a ticket to heaven. Yet something felt desperately wrong.   

"Somewhere on the road to the American Dream, her happy Christian life had become a fireproof fortress -- one that kept the world's pain at bay but left her all too safe from God's burning love.  

"And she learned that he would do anything to break her out. Including -- it seemed -- breaking her.  Burning Down the Fireproof Hotel is part memoir, part manifesto for the spacious life that's waiting for all of us beyond our private prisons."

Always writing. Dozens of articles from The Washington Post to online magazines.

I love speaking and teaching on topics related to neighbor love and believing there is MORE to life. I teach homeless men; I teach middle-aged women. I love any group, and the more variety in the group, the better. We really are all better together.

Members (monthly donors) fund coins that get into the hands of neighborhood teams for distribution to hungry people and families. The recipients use them at local vendors who participate. It works just like cash. Vendors cash out. Everybody can be part of the community response to hunger. Join us at www.breadcoin.org/membership
