About the Book

Making Manifest: On Faith, Creativity, and the Kingdom at Hand is book of devotional meditations and exercises designed for personal spiritual growth and innovative community building.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING. . . 

“Dave Harrity’s Making Manifest is a lively invitation into writing as a spiritual practice . . . no longer just for the poet-types—this book walks us through poetry’s ability to help us record and remember, take part in creation, and move toward divine mystery. Along the way, Harrity gives practical exercises for the reader to try on their own as well as profound examples of poetry’s impact in his personal spiritual development. Making Manifest is a special guidebook for all pilgrims who crave the quiet moments of reflection and stillness, as well as the bright moments of creating . . .
Brianna Van DykeEditor-in-chief of Ruminate Magazine

. . . Making Manifest is heart exercise for personal and communal Christian formation. The means is poetry; the end is transformation from the guts out. This is a month-long master course for formation in Christlikeness.
Lyle Smith GraybealPresident of Forma

I think many individuals and groups will point back to Making Manifest years from now and see it as a beginning—a renewal of creativity and vision. This book offers the exact challenges and encouragement we need to come to terms with the big questions in and outside the church. . . .
Michael WintersPhotographer and Visual Arts Minister at Sojourn Christian Church

. . . Harrity shows himself sensitive to how words work and achieve their powerful effects: how they emphasize, energize, and create anticipation; preserve the mysterious; and invite and refine the messiness of lived experience. . . . Attentive to his readers in a pragmatic way, Harrity wants to help them become more attentive to themselves and to words, but also to the world and to the way we honestly see the world, and further to ways we may be called to speak for the world. Harrity urges us to develop a creative faith. Rarely have I encountered a writer and teacher of writing who thinks so highly of poetry’s potential to give voice to our lives . . . in such a persuasive, inspiring way.
Brett FosterProfessor of Creative Writing at Wheaton College; Author of The Garbage Eater: Poems
