For years Glennon Doyle Melton built a wall between herself and others, hiding inside a bunker of secrets and shame. But one day everything changed: Glennon woke up to life, committing herself to living out loud and giving language to our universal (yet often secret) experiences. She became a sensation when her personal essays started going viral. Her hilarious and poignant observations have been read by millions, shared among friends, discussed at water coolers, and have now inspired a social movement. In Carry On, Warrior, Melton shares new stories and the best-loved material from Momastery.com. Her mistakes and triumphs demonstrate that love wins and that together we can do hard things. Melton is a courageous truth-teller and hopespreader, a wise and witty friend who emboldens us to believe in ourselves and reminds us that the journey is the reward. Carry On, Warrior proves that by shedding our weapons and armor, we can stop hiding, competing, and striving for the mirage of perfection, to build better lives in our hearts, homes, and communities.
Industry Reviews
"Sometimes, someone says exactly what you need to hear right when you need it most. Glennon Doyle Melton is that someone for me. I've been reading her lovely, funny new book, Carry on, Warrior--and when I got to the chapter titled, 'Don't Carpe Diem, ' I knew I'd found a spirit guide."--Ellen Pocost "Westchester Parent Magazine"
"Glennon Melton is a natural storyteller, but it's herradical honesty and compassion which enable this book to speak right to theheart of the reader. Glennon's words change readers. Herstories are hilarious, sad, poignant, but they also push and pull at the wallswe've put up around ourselves. She honors the complexity of our modernlives, tells us it's okay to be human, to ask for help, but also reminds us howgreat it feels to do good in the world. Carry On, Warrior is animportant portrait of contemporary womanhood, one that encourages us to takechances and love big."--Megan Mayhew Bergman, author of Almost Famous Women
"Carry On, Warrior is precisely the kind of book I hope the parents in my congregation will read. Melton is a richly gifted storyteller, and her shamelessness is the best kind, rooted in a refusal to believe that she is anything other than a forgiven and beloved child of God."--Katherine Willis Pershey, associate Pastor First Congregational Church of Western Springs Illinois "Christian Century Magazine"
"Glennon Doyle Melton is church and Carry On, Warrior reads like one of those old rollicking hymns that make you want to stand up at the end and shout, "Amen!" Life is indeed "brutiful" but Glennon's humor, warmth, and honesty are profound reminders that there is beauty in our struggle. I can't stop thinking about this book."--Brene Brown, Ph.D. "New York Times bestselling author of Daring Greatly: How the Courage to be Vulnerable Tra"
"CarryOn, Warrior is a fierce, outrageous and laugh-out-loud book about emergingfrom addiction and living life at full-tilt."--Geneen Roth, author of Women, Food and God
"Funny, honest, and brave, Glennon Melton joins the ranks of Anne Lamott, Sara Miles, and Barbara Brown Taylor by giving her readers a precious gift: permission--permission to doubt, permission to believe, permission to struggle, permission to laugh, permission to tell the truth, and permission to do it allimperfectly. Carry On, Warrior takes its place among the best ofspiritual memoirs as the kind of book readers will want to return to again andagain. It reads like a conversation with a close friend, but impacts theheart like an encounter with the divine."--Rachel Held Evans, author of Evolving in Monkey Town and a Year of Biblical Womanhood
"Glennon embodies all that we want to be and fear we are not: she is authentic, funny, wise, loving, and resilient in the face of extraordinary challenges. But the magic of Carry On, Warrior is that by the time you finish the book, you realize you ARE all those things, and more. It is a book that actually makes you feel that you are loved and cherished. Has a book ever accomplished anything more marvelous than that?"--Vanessa Diffenbaugh, author of The Language of Flowers
