With its hard-nosed realism and passion for God, this memoir
should appeal to people of faith across the political
spectrum.–Publishers Weekly (starred review)
”Surrounded by violence and poverty and threatened by urban
renewal, Transfiguration Lutheran Church under pastor Neumark
survived and, perhaps miraculously, thrived . . . Her story proves
genuinely inspirational as we follow her from despair and
frustration to cautious optimism in the face of a still tenuous
future.” –Booklist
”Breathing Space is a beautifully produced book, and it has a
utopian poignancy . . . Yet it is grounded in the virtue of
hope.”–James S. Torrens, America: The National Catholic Weekly
Winner of a 2004 Wilbur Award
Breathing Space is the story of Heidi Neumark and the
Hispanic and African-American Lutheran church-Transfiguration-that
took a chance calling on a pastor from a starkly different
background. Despite living and working in a milieu of overwhelming
poverty and violence, Neumark and the congregation encounter even
more powerful forces of hope and renewal.
This story of a community creating space for new life and breath
is also the story of a young woman-working, raising her children,
and struggling for spiritual breathing space. Through poignant,
intimate stories, Neumark charts her journey alongside her
parishioners as pastor, church, and community grow in wisdom and
together experience transformation.
