Eyes to See

"Eyes to See" takes the form of 40 vignettes exploring the reality of God's presence in all of life's seasons—from adolescence and college to marriage, motherhood, and work. Diverse anecdotes celebrate the beauty, the lessons, the wonders bountifully placed within the folds of life. The book points to miracles great and small—evidence of God's love, God's omnipotence, and God's creational power. Readers are invited along for a personal journey made full with divine moments of friendship, nature, family, love, parenthood, and grief. These meditations aim to encourage others to become aware of God's quiet presence in their own lives. In our hyper-fast, hyper-connected world, is there a skill more important than learning to slow down and cultivate an awareness of God's nearness to us amidst the ordinary experiences of life? God "winks" at all of us, and miracles have always lain before us. We need only have eyes to see.
