What if reading could become a spiritual practice—not just for gaining knowledge, but for nourishing your soul?
In this episode of the Unhurried Living Podcast, Alan Fadling talks with Jeff Crosby, author of World of Wonders: A Spirituality of Reading, about the formative power of books.

In this conversation, you’ll discover:
- How books can become trusted companions in your spiritual journey
- Why stories, poetry, and memoir awaken wonder and reshape our hearts
- Practical ways to cultivate a reading life that nourishes your soul
