A Life Spiritually Guided by Faith, Daisies, and Sky-Blue Pink is the autobiography of K. L. Nelson, a young girl raised on Christian faith and values that molded her into the woman she is today and guided her through life’s challenges in marriage, motherhood, and her most recent loss. As a young girl, K. L. Nelson was and continues to be spiritually inspired by her maternal grandmothers and has been blessed to be chosen to feel the spirits around her and to be given their messages for her own life and for others. As a young woman of fifteen, she found the love of her life; and together, they began a journey of growing up, fighting their own personal battles, and the many challenges life would bring their way. Through the strength of their love for each other, faith, and spiritual guidance, they would make it through them all until one fateful day when she would find herself enduring the greatest heartache she could ever imagine—the unexpected loss of her husband after twenty-six years of marriage and thirty-two years together. Today, she is learning to manage life on her own, to find peace in the loss she has suffered, and to hold faith in the Lord to walk beside her through her next journey in life. A Life Spiritually Guided by Faith, Daisies, and Sky-Blue Pink is a heartfelt story of faith, hope, and endurance. It is a message meant to inspire and show that we do not have to give up and change course just because life gets tough. If our love is strong enough, and we dig deep within ourselves, we can all find the connections in our lives that inspire and guide us. If we learn to find our strength through the Lord, we can find meaning and hope in our lives that will carry us through any and all of life’s challenges.

Poems ranging from her Texas childhood to reverential odes to the landscape and laments about the loss of her son.

A fresh, clear, joyful guide for parents on how to teach their children to love God with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength. Give Them Jesus aims to help parents not simply add to their children's stockpile of knowledge, but to cultivate children-disciples who are able to display Christ-likeness in every situation. Parents are the ones primarily responsible for opening up the Scriptures to help their children understand God, the world, and themselves. The family is the divinely appointed discipleship program; the home is first and foremost a place of worship. The introduction of the book discusses the four vital components of family worship: teach, treasure, sing, and pray, and offers practical suggestions for beginning and prioritizing family worship in the rough and tumble of life. Subsequent chapters guide parents to a deeper understanding of the core truths of the historic Christian faith, as summarized in the Apostles' Creed, arming them with appropriate language, helpful illustrations, and relevant object lessons, so that in the end they will be better prepared to pass these truths on to their children. Each chapter concludes with a family worship guide, which includes: 1) family memory verses, 2) nuggets of truth from the chapter, 3) questions for family discussion, 4) songs that celebrate the truths of the Creed, and 5) prayer prompts. Give Them Jesus equips parents to prepare their children to leave home and go out into the world as faithful participants in the great gospel story. "Never stop telling the gospel story to your kids," Thornton says. "Give your children Jesus. Again. And again. And again. And you'll see them walk in the truth."

Carrying only basic camping equipment and a collection of the world's great spiritual writings, Belden C. Lane embarks on solitary spiritual treks through the Ozarks and across the American Southwest. For companions, he has only such teachers as Rumi, John of the Cross, Hildegard of Bingen, Dag Hammarskjöld, and Thomas Merton, and as he walks, he engages their writings with the natural wonders he encounters--Bell Mountain Wilderness with Søren Kierkegaard, Moonshine Hollow with Thich Nhat Hanh--demonstrating how being alone in the wild opens a rare view onto one's interior landscape, and how the saints' writings reveal the divine in nature. The discipline of backpacking, Lane shows, is a metaphor for a spiritual journey. Just as the wilderness offered revelations to the early Desert Christians, backpacking hones crucial spiritual skills: paying attention, traveling light, practicing silence, and exercising wonder. Lane engages the practice not only with a wide range of spiritual writings--Celtic, Catholic, Protestant, Buddhist, Hindu, and Sufi Muslim--but with the fascination of other lovers of the backcountry, from John Muir and Ed Abbey to Bill Plotkin and Cheryl Strayed. In this intimate and down-to-earth narrative, backpacking is shown to be a spiritual practice that allows the discovery of God amidst the beauty and unexpected terrors of nature. Adoration, Lane suggests, is the most appropriate human response to what we cannot explain, but have nonetheless learned to love. An enchanting narrative for Christians of all denominations, Backpacking with the Saints is an inspiring exploration of how solitude, simplicity, and mindfulness are illuminated and encouraged by the discipline of backcountry wandering, and of how the wilderness itself becomes a way of knowing-an ecology of the soul.
