The God Diaries: A One-year Journey Into an Authentic Faith Experience

When my husband was confronted with a chronic, life-threatening illness, I was quite disillusioned by the response of our church community. During the pandemic, when feeling isolated and alone in my suffering, I was directed to strengthen my spiritual life through prayer and meditation on the Word. I began writing down these prayers and insights and, in so doing, was amazed to discover that an authentic fellowship built up around me.

I maintain a strong faith and am a member of a community that grows daily, however, I do not associate myself with any church or religious body. This book is for anyone who wants to explore how the Bible can maintain daily relevance in the modern world. It chronicles my own transition from relying on the church to achieving my own, personal connection to the spiritual world.
