"Scripture has been compared to a lamp for our path; bread for the journey; honey dripping from a plentiful comb. What clarity and nourishment from our sacred texts might arise as we engage the pages of this book? Approaching these daily reflections with an open heart, we may discover unexpected insights, fresh angles of light, and a sense of sweetness even amid life’s many challenges. Take, read, be nourished, and share the bounty!"—Marjorie Thompson, author of Soul Feast"Many of us feel too busy to breathe some days, much less engage in a spiritual practice. These daily reflections are brief and accessible but not lacking in depth. A refreshing moment of daily centering is just what we need to feel more grounded, purposeful, and awake to the world!"—Erin Wathen, author of Witness to the Light"I have long sought devotional books to enrich my faith and to share with others who seek the same. I look for brevity and gravity that lead me to ponder, reflect, and dig deeper into my faith. Always Near: Daily Moments with God checks all the boxes. I am delighted to recommend this book!"—Kathleen Long Bostrom, author of Finding Calm in the Chaos
