God Moments

If you want to see God in your everyday life, then this is the book for you. In short stories from her own life, Jo-Anne takes the exploits and conversations with her grandchildren, her unexpected encounters with strangers, the mundane activities of cooking, gardening and just about everything else in her life to show us God's character and the way he speaks in the ordinary and extraordinary events she experiences every day. She combines her deep knowledge of the Bible with the everyday aspects of life and encourages us to experience God in our own lives too. This beautifully authored collection of life-giving stories highlights the powerful influence of pondering on the 'God incidents' in our day-to-day lives. Jo-Anne writes with gentle transparency, and reading her book is like delving into a treasure chest, with each story unveiling another gem from the depths of her soul. As I read, my heart resonated with joy as her contemplative words ministered deeply, drawing me into a place of meaningful insight and reflection on similar stories in my own life. Jo-Anne's ultimate desire is that 'we would learn to value our close connection with God so much more and truly cherish his loving intimate presence each day'. Jo-Anne Berthelsen has a gift of noticing the little things that most of us miss. In this book of short reflections, she makes connections between seemingly insignificant, everyday happenings and the sort of practical wisdom that reflects God's character. Read this a little at a time and be inspired to pay attention to the lessons that come through the details of life.
