Tish Harrison Warren is a priest in the Anglican Church in North America. Her most recent book, Prayer in the Night: For Those Who Work or Watch or Weep, I recently finished literally in the dark, mostly by candle and flashlight, in the midst of the Texas blackout and freeze. Tish tackles the theological concept of theodicy in this book – the question we all have of what to make of a good God in the midst of evil and suffering in the world. She also lets us in on where she went when she had no words left to pray; it is powerful. The book and the conversation are both beautiful. I can’t wait for you to listen!
