The Absence of Light
Rev. Hardwick’s powerful new book invites us to a crucial conversation about personal responsibility and our role in creating a more just and sustainable world. Through deeply honest reflection and vulnerability, she explores her own journey of self-assessment – not as a process of blame, but as a path to empowerment and connection.
Rev. Christie Hardwick
Christie’s writing journey began at age 10 with poetry inspired by the Vietnam War, a deeply personal experience impacting her brothers. After decades focused on family and a successful career in Silicon Valley, she rediscovered writing while coaching leaders with a spiritual perspective. Ordained as a minister in 2015, she explored the connections between leadership, spirituality, and authenticity – leading to her debut book, Radical Self Tenderness.
Living between California and Umbria with her wife Jane, Christie continues to explore the world while pursuing her passion for writing and spiritual growth.
