Make a List

"Goes well beyond the to-do list to invite new and creative ways of thinking and doing. . . . Readers of all kinds, from type A veteran list-makers to those whose blood pressure rises at the thought of making a list, will find much useful information here." -- Publishers Weekly "In this lively, creative, and pleasure-filled book, Marilyn McEntyre presents the making of lists as a path into a wonder-filled pluriverse. . . . Whether you tend to scribble a list on a scrap of paper or regularly fill your journal with them, you will find some great ideas here!" -- Spirituality & Practice "You do not have to go too far into the book to discover that McEntyre has created a whole new paradigm shift, moving lists out of being simply to-do taskmasters and into being a tool to help us delve deeper into our lives and indeed into our very souls." -- The Presbyterian Outlook "A perfect book for yourself or to give as a gift." -- San Francisco Book Review "Marilyn McEntyre reminds me of the power of language--to heal and instruct us, to challenge and shape us." -- Shauna Niequist "Brings lively attention to the way words can open multiple doors of memory, imagination, and reflection." -- Richard Rohr "Encourages, guides, and directs. . . . Marilyn McEntyre embodies simple, patient kindness in her writing." -- Michael Card "Just one week into living with Make a List, I can already tell that this small book, which both invites me into a new practice and reframes one of my existing daily habits as a spiritual practice, will be life-giving and edifying." -- Lauren F. Winner "A companion who can abide amid our chaos, a sage who can choose the right moment to share a word, and a prophet who can say the thing we shrink from yet need to hear." -- Samuel Wells
