Holy Nomad:
The Rugged Road to Joy

By Matt Litton (Abingdon Press, © 2012)

“Living generously for others entails being intentional about showing up, not just for the doing, but also for the being. The nomadic journey calls us to be willing to put aside the busyness of distractions and consumption, not simply for nomadic actions of love but also to be present with our neighbors. The Holy Nomad offers his presence first and foremost above everything else. I find it is much less of a challenge to work for another person than it is to be emotionally present with them. But as a Sunday school teacher once reminded me, ‘God did not create human-doers, but human-beings.’” —Matt Litton, from the book
