__"A timely and timeless call to live resistance every day"__   
In an era in which "resistance" has become tokenized, Indigenous author Kaitlin Curtice reclaims it as a basic human calling. We each have a role to play in the world right where we are, and our everyday acts of resistance hold us all together.  
  
"In a moment in which 'resistance' is a hashtag and 'wholeness' is an industry, Living Resistance is a lifeline reconnecting us with our human calling. Curtice beautifully honors the ancient and eternal promise of liberation as not only our sacred birthright but our marching orders."  
--__Glennon Doyle__, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Untamed; founder of Together Rising  
  
"Curtice fiercely yet gently calls us home to care about our souls and our bodies, about each other and Mother Earth. It's a timely and timeless call to live resistance every day as we build the world we want, together."  
--__Rev. Dr. Jacqui J. Lewis__, senior minister, Middle Church; author of Fierce Love  
  
"Living Resistance forges a path to a more whole now and a more whole tomorrow."  
--__Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg__, author of On Repentance and Repair: Making Amends in an Unapologetic World  
  
"Curtice lays out a compassionate call to action for all of us to return to the source, to the root, to that which is love. Curtice writes poetically and sets out a clear and beautiful path that feels accessible to all. This book is a bold, reimagined way for us to stand courageously in our truth."  
--__Joél Leon__, poet, author, storyteller  
  
"For those who have been hearing the call for a more equitable, compassionate, and humane world, Living Resistance is the road map we have been looking for. It reminds us of the fire we hold in our bellies and the spark we carry in our souls. I am so grateful that this book exists; it's a must-read for all."  
--__Asha Frost__, Indigenous Medicine Woman; bestselling author of You Are the Medicine

__Kaitlin B. Curtice__ is an award-winning author, poet-storyteller, and public speaker. As an enrolled citizen of the Potawatomi Nation and an interspiritual advocate, she writes and speaks on the intersections of spirituality and identity, colonialism in faith communities, and the importance of interfaith relationships. Curtice is the author of Native: Identity, Belonging, and Rediscovering God and has written online for Sojourners, Religion News Service, On Being, SELF Magazine, and more. Her work has been featured on CBS and in USA Today, and she also writes at The Liminality Journal. She lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

In Living Resistance, Curtice teaches that resistance is for every human who longs to see their neighbors' holistic flourishing. Curtice explores four "realms of resistance"--the personal, the communal, the ancestral, and the integral--and shows how these realms overlap and why all are needed for our liberation. She explains that we can learn to practice embodied ways of belonging and connection to ourselves and one another through everyday practices, such as getting more in touch with our bodies, resting, and remembering our ancestors.  
  
Living Resistance will empower you to seek wholeness in whatever spheres of influence you inhabit.  
  
"There's so much injustice in our world today and so many reasons to resist. Yet we don't have many models of how to engage with our world in ways that make our lives better. Curtice taps into Indigenous wisdom for how we can push back while also creating wholeness and happiness for ourselves."  
\--__Simran Jeet Singh__, executive director, Aspen Institute's Religion &amp; Society Program; author of The Light We Give: How Sikh Wisdom Can Transform Your Life  
  
"As a rabbi, as a Jew, and as a human, I am profoundly grateful to Curtice for inviting us into the sacred realm of Indigenous wisdom. For all of us rooted in a faith tradition that seeks healing for a broken world, this inspiring book offers an accessible path of resistance to oppression."  
\--__Rabbi Jonah Dov Pesner__, director, Religious Action Center; senior vice president, Union for Reform Judaism
