‘Few books on spiritual issues cover as much ground and offer the brilliant insights that are essential for the strengthening of our faith as The Soulmaking Room. A marvellous read, it urges us to be contemplative believers. Risher offers us radically new ways to think about justice, about what it means to love, about making a life centred on service.’

‘Once in a great while, you come across a book that reflects the very personal journey of its author, yet also offers profound insights to a wide variety of readers. Dee Dee Risher has accomplisher this feat with lyricism, grace, deep pathos, and unexpected joy. The humble wisdom Dee Dee offers in this book is something I would recommend to anyone who seeks to live more authentically and intentionally in our wonderful, mysterious, broken world so loved by God.’
