|  | | Awe-Full Moments: Spirituality in the Commonplace
The stories in this book are about recognizing the spiritual blessings commonly hidden in life disasters; how painful events can be the source of change, spiritual growth and life-giving energy. It reveals how the awful often can lead us to the awe-full.
Awe-Full Moments is about becoming better, not bitter through life's often painful events. It is about experiencing God's love through persons, places and events that come into our lives, often when we most need them, but least expect them. When these things happen the awful can be transformed into acceptance, spiritual growth and life-giving energy. Thus the awful can become awe-full. | |  | | Holy Humor: If This is Church, Why are we Laughing?
A collection of jokes and humorous stories that have a religious tie-in.
What is Holy Humor? It is a book for those who enjoy a good laugh, and for those who enjoy retelling good jokes and stories. It's a book that shows religion, church, preaching and even the clergy can be fun and have a funny side, too.
In Holy Humor, the jokes, sayings and thoughts have a religious touch. The basis for almost all humor is fact, and many of the stories in this volume are funny incidents that really happened. The humor here, though, is light and fun. It isn’t heavy-handed and preaching, nor is it crude and repulsive.
The stories in Holy Humor can be enjoyed by | |  | | It Made a Difference to That One

There’s a Shaker adage that reads:
"Little acts of kindness, which we render to each other in everyday life, are like flowers by the wayside to the traveler: they serve to gladden the heart and relieve the tedium of life’s journey."
The stories in this book share the truth of that saying.
Seemingly insignificant acts can have a profound impact on the lives of others. A little act of kindness can affect another, not only at the time it happens, but also long into the future—it can even affect those not yet born.
