Embracing God in Sacred Creation: A Thirty-Day Spiritual Sojourn - Paperback

by April Dawn Reese (Author)

She didn't know it at the time but when the author first launched her paddle board into the Chesapeake Bay, it would be the beginning of a great spiritual journey. This journey would bring many encounters with the presence of God in His inspiring creation. Through the synthesis of journalling, reflection and photography, and through the dual lenses of counselling and Christianity, this book was born.
