Now It Springs Up: Spiritual Insights for Every Day

It won't be hard to use Now It Springs Up as a daily guide for reflection and prayer. What will be hard is to refrain from reading the entire year's worth of meditations in one sitting. Carol Duerksen, Michele Hershberger, and Laurie Oswald Robinson have teamed together to offer fresh, engaging reflections on daily Scripture readings. Each entry includes an invitation to prayer and to action; each week features entries designated for families and children. Two things stand out in this book--the candid personal voice of each author; and their depth of spirituality. Weaving their way through these pages are confession and repentance, wonder and awe, honest doubts and perplexing questions, and occasional delightful flashes of humor. Now It Springs Up offers rich and accessible guidance for a meaningful faith journey. Just as the prophet Isaiah promised, rivers will flow in the desert places and new life will spring forth when we call upon God. Wth such refreshment, we will become people of praise who walk in the world with love, trust, and hope in God's good future.
