Review :
"A book that will challenge every perception of leadership. Marlena takes you through a journey of emptying your privilege, power obsession, position climbing, and the multifaceted pecking order to discover a holy exchange. It will literally wreck your soul. The Way Up Is Down is a sacred interlude that will lead readers into a holy place of vulnerability. It will cause you to reframe and define what it means to be an authentic leader in a world distracted with vain celebrity culture." --Gricel Medina, leadership and community developer, Midsouth Conference of the Evangelical Covenant Church "In The Way Up Is Down, Marlena reminds us that we serve the world well when we are emptied out. Through powerful stories and thoughtful prompts, she asks us to consider what it means to follow a Jesus who often does what we least expect--who serves and loves in a way that turns everything upside down. I'm grateful for her voice in this world." --Kaitlin Curtice, Potawatomi author and speaker "In an age marked by the idols of power, wealth, and prestige--in the church no less than in the culture--comes a quiet voice to remind us that God gives grace to the humble, and the meek will inherit the earth. Marlena Graves doesn't just write about these biblical truths--she lives them. The Way Up Is Down will reset your moral compass, clear your vision of the cultural dust, and direct you back to the only one who can make your paths straight." --Karen Swallow Prior, author of On Reading Well and Fierce Convictions "It is a rare and sacred gift for a writer to serve her raw heart--tender and salted with tears--to nourish the world. The Way Up Is Down is a profound act of Christlike service. Honest, poignant, and lyrical, this is a book that shows what it tells. It's unforgettable, incisive, and deeply needed. Thank you, Marlena, for sharing your precious gift--your story, your yearning for a better way. I am inspired." --Paul J. Pastor, author of The Face of the Deep, The Listening Day, and Palau: A Life on Fire "We have forgotten the way of Jesus--this one who 'calls us to stoop, ' writes Marlena Graves. In her newest book, The Way Up Is Down, Graves's voice is bold and prophetic, calling each of us out of the wilderness of self-will to repent of our lust for power and material greed. But this isn't just a book. It's the compelling witness of a life: a woman born into poverty and racial oppression, who sees and loves the lowly and invites us to become like them." --Jen Pollock Michel, author of Surprised by Paradox and Keeping Place
