Nadia Bolz-Weber is one of the most distinctive and compelling voices in American Christianity. A Lutheran pastor, she founded the House for All Sinners and Saints in Denver and, more recently, New Beginnings, a worshipping community in Denver’s women’s prison, and the Red State Revivals, drawing together many thousands of progressive Christians in conservative heartlands. Her three books, Cranky, Beautiful Faith, Accidental Saints and Shameless were all New York Times bestsellers (all published in the UK by Canterbury Press).
