Open your eyes to the wonder God has waiting for you.In the midst of our busy schedules and the constant distractions our culture offers us, it can be difficult to feel God and see the way he's working in our lives. He is the creator of the universe, the author of salvation, the beginning and end of everything that is--but that doesn't mean he's far away.The truth is, God is revealing himself to us all the time, in even the littlest details of our everyday. If we can only slow down and open our eyes to see it, we can begin to catch glimpses of him wherever we are and whatever our circumstances may be. In A Minute of Presence for Women, spend a year retreating with God--and awaken your heart to his wonder all around you.

In The Beautiful Ache, Leigh McLeroy¿s powerful writing invites you to hopefully embrace the gap between the life you know¿and the life you can¿t help longing for.
