From the author of Barefoot Tribe, whose “manifesto offers hope and inspiration for people of all faiths” (Booklist), comes a spiritually exhilarating guide toward living a life full of purpose, authenticity, and justice.

Growing up in Liberia, Palmer Chinchen often heard people say, “Carry me halfway.” Dangerous predators lurked in the dark, making it unsafe for anyone to walk alone in the jungle. So friends would gather to walk each other home. But they’d never actually stop halfway; they would always walk you all the way home.

From years of experience, Chinchen has learned that this concept can also be applied to one’s spirituality. The church does well carrying people halfway, but unfortunately, a great majority of churchgoers rarely mature past the halfway mark—leaving them to unknowingly lead spiritually underdeveloped lives, never nearing their full potential. The theology, Bible memorization, weeknight services, choir groups, and sermons are somehow not enough, and something often seems strangely missing, inadequate. We have been taught that we develop spiritually through knowing and introspection. But Chinchen offers another way, a way many have missed.

In Carry Me Halfway Palmer Chinchen presents inspiring and practical ways to find the purpose, authenticity, and justice lacking in our lives. Heinvites us to walk together, all the way, toward selfless living and becoming far less concerned with self-preservation and personal piety. When we live like that...we grow. And we will be transformed.
