Begin With A Question
$20.00
Begin with a Question explores how the life of faith is a continuous voyage, launched anew each bright day of the spirit or dark night of the soul. This is a book of contemplation and motion, a journey–often in stops and starts–toward the Divine, a pilgrimage paved with prayer, praise, pause, penitence, and (of course) questions. Urgent and universal, joyful or joyless, tinged with doubt or rinsed with hope, here are honest queries that probe, lift, and lead to discovery. Begin with a Question keeps us moving, seeking, reaching, lifting us out of ourselves to something beyond. Using a variety of fixed forms and free verse, the poet examines our relationship to the one who asks, “Who do you say that I am?” A book for seekers, doubters, and believers alike, these poems bring us face to face with anguish, anger, awe, and adoration. They give us permission not to demand answers, but to follow the questions that lead to the Alpha and Omega, to the I AM that keeps us spiraling along this twisting path toward God.

The encouraging essays in The Magic of Motherhood will inspire and refresh you, and flipping through the pages will remind you of some of the universal experiences of motherhood-joy, love, the good and bad kinds of heartache, and plenty of laughter. Through the beautiful words and inspiring messages in The Magic of Motherhood, be reminded of your own story and the sisterhood of motherhood that surrounds you and supports you. The moments of calm and chaos, beauty and mess, that happen between your coffee and crumbs are worth reflecting on and valuing.
