"An invitation into a deep, expansive, and healing way of encountering Scripture"In this 40-day devotional, Cuban American writer Kat Armas shows us that reading the Bible with fresh eyes allows us to experience God in new and liberating ways.Highlighting biblical passages that point toward decolonized themes centered on creation, wisdom, spirit, the body, and the feminine, Armas helps us see how Scripture directs us to live a liberated faith--a faith where we belong to God, the earth, and one another."Armas is a theological leader in fierce truth-telling and compelling story-sharing, and we should join her on this journey to reimagine what belonging could be."--Kaitlin Curtice, award-winning author of Native and Living Resistance"What a delicious book. We are invited to taste and see biblical narratives with a new palate that decenters and decolonizes and disrupts limited ways of knowing."--Rev. Dr. Jacqui J. Lewis, senior minister, Middle Church; author of Fierce Love"Armas is the theologian we need, and Sacred Belonging is the devotional we've been waiting for. I am stunned silent by this beautiful, relevant work."--Emily P. Freeman, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Next Right Thing"Armas has given us a devotional worth reading. She offers new perspectives rather than settling for conventional ones."--Peter Enns, author of Curveball; host of The Bible for Normal People podcast"A devotional for all of us who feel cringey about devotionals. I felt so held and respected by these words."--K.J. Ramsey, trauma therapist; author of The Book of Common Courage and The Lord Is My Courage"An invitation into a deep, expansive, and healing way of encountering Scripture."--Arielle Estoria, poet, author, and actor

Descubra la sabiduría de las mujeres menospreciadasEn una narración personal combinada con reflexión bíblica, la escritora cubanoamericana Kat Armas cuenta la historia de algunas teólogas anónimas e ignoradas --madres, abuelas, hermanas e hijas-- cuya sacra sabiduría nos enseña algo único sobre la espiritualidad y Dios."Armas integra magistralmente la verdad bíblica con la realidad social y nos invita a considerar el aprendizaje de las voces marginadas como un modo de crecer en la sabiduría y el conocimiento de Cristo".--Sandra María Van Opstal, directora ejecutiva de Chasing Justice"Armas nos recuerda que la teología puede ser vivida, no solo teorizada por los que tienen más poder social, y que se desarrolla precisamente en los lugares donde se nos ha dicho que no veamos".--Hillary L. McBride, psicóloga, escritora, oradora, presentadora de podcast"Armas muestra cómo ciertas mujeres poderosas --conocidas y anónimas-- a través de lo cotidiano han influido en el desenlace de la historia; mujeres que no solo llenan la Biblia, sino que también nuestras vidas. Así que sentémonos a los pies de Armas para que podamos obtener la sabiduría que tanto necesitamos para encarnar la abuelita fe".--Marlena Graves, autora de The Way Up Is Down"Toda una proeza. Armas nos atrae inmediatamente y audazmente al magnético y sabio abrazo cubano de su abuela a la vez que abre un universo íntimo de mujeres valientes y llenas de fe en la narrativa bíblica y más allá".--Mark Labberton, presidente, Fuller Theological Seminary"Armas nos invita al escenario de la marginalidad, un lugar lleno de lucha, fracaso, cuerpos, belleza y humanidad que todos deseamos ver y abrazar. Esta travesía nos estremecerá, nos volverá a unir y nos hará libres".--Danté Stewart, escritor y orador"Este libro ayudará a las personas a deshacerse y recuperarse de generaciones de patriarcado, y --al mismo tiempo-- a visualizar una comunidad de fe guiada por la sabiduría, el conocimiento y el liderazgo de las mujeres".--Patrick B. Reyes, galardonado autor chicano de The Purpose Gap y Nobody Cries When We Die

What if some of our greatest theologians wouldn't be considered theologians at all?Kat Armas, a second-generation Cuban American, grew up on the outskirts of Miami's famed Little Havana neighborhood. Her earliest theological formation came from her grandmother, her abuelita, who fled Cuba during the height of political unrest and raised three children alone after her husband passed away. Combining personal storytelling with biblical reflection, Armas shows us how voices on the margins--those often dismissed, isolated, and oppressed because of their gender, socioeconomic status, or lack of education--have more to teach us about following God than we realize.Abuelita Faith tells the story of unnamed and overlooked theologians in society and in the Bible--mothers, grandmothers, sisters, and daughters--whose survival, strength, resistance, and persistence teach us the true power of faith and love. The author's exploration of abuelita theology will help people of all cultural and ethnic backgrounds reflect on the abuelitas in their lives and ministries and on ways they can live out abuelita faith every day.
