THis wonderful book was our family evening devotional text, as I tucked my three daughters in bed at night. We reread this book several times. Again, a WONDERFUL book!

Patricia has a way of finding the beauty in the most ordinary things. I have read this book more times than I can even begin to count. "Embracing a Beautiful God" is a series of thoughtful meditations about finding God in everyday events and occurrences. I've used it numerous times when preparing meditations for church. It's an enchanting reflection of the discipline of looking for the extraordinary among the ordinary.
