You've never read a book like this one: frankly self-deprecating, boldly complex, intense, joyfully honest, devastatingly beautiful, heartbreakingly funny. What Falls from the Sky is about so much more than one woman's year without the Internet; it's about marriage and choices, faith and rest, community and family, grief and hope, food and dirt---all the things that make our lives worth living. It is impossible to live an unexamined life with Esther as your friend. She is completely herself, and so her story sings of freedom within the silence and even within the noise.

Synopsis
What Falls from the Sky is Esther Emery's lyrical, sharply insightful account of a year without internet---and the God, grace, and recovery of personal identity that she found offline., Esther Emery was a successful playwright and theater director, wife and mother, and loving it all - until, suddenly, she wasn't. When a personal and professional crisis of spectacular extent leaves her reeling, Esther is left empty, alone in her marriage, and grasping for identity that does not define itself by busyness and a breakneck pace of life. Something had to be done. What Falls from the Sky is Esther's fiercely honest, piercingly poetic account of a year without Internet - 365 days away from the good, the bad, and the ugly of our digital lives - in one woman's desperate attempt at a reset. Esther faces her addiction to electronica, her illusion of self-importance, and her longing to return to simpler days, but then the unexpected happens. Her experiment in analog is hijacked by a spiritual awakening, and Esther finds herself suddenly, inexplicably drawn to the faith she had rejected for so long. Ultimately, Esther's unplugged pilgrimage brings her to a place where she finally finds the peace - and the God who created it - she has been searching for all along. What Falls from the Sky offers a path for you to do the same. For all the ways the Internet makes you feel enriched and depleted, genuinely connected and wildly insufficient, What Falls from the Sky reveals a new way to look up from your screens and live with palms wide open in a world brimming with the good gifts of God.

    My dvd was delivered to a P.O. Box in Illinois, due to an error by the P.O. I contacted the seller, they responded quickly getting in touch with the P.O. to locate the dvd. Once located, they made sure that my dvd was re-mailed to my home in Fl. When I finally received my dvd they messaged me to make sure I had gotten the dvd. The dvd was very well wrapped to prevent any damage and it still arrived on time! I’m super happy with the customer service I received, thank you!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • What Falls From The Sky

    A compelling read that had me looking at my use of “screens” Is it productive? Am I bored? Am I avoiding doing something else? I grew up without the internet being an option so I think sometimes it’s not my first go to. However, I think it becomes a way to try to quickly solve a problem rather than deal with the issue. I would highly recommend this read if you are looking for ways to “disconnect “
