Finding Wonder in LIfe's Ordinary Moments

Martha Sterne is a remarkable minister whom I have had the privilege of hearing preside at the funeral of a dear friend. Her warm and loving presence is felt in her writing, and these short essays are glimpses of the beauty to be found in the everyday life of a persons of faith. This book would be an excellent source for a small discussion group, and she provides questions for personal reflection at the end of each essay. If you are looking for a fluffy, feel-good religious book, this one may not be for you, but if you are searching for ways to see the living God in your everyday encounters, you'll love this book.
