If you imagine you can only learn about God through weighty theological tomes or deep dives into scripture, here’s some good news: it doesn’t have to be that hard. There are lessons all around us—in the everyday moments of our lives. A mother playing favorites with her children can lead us to appreciate that we are all the Lord’s favorites. A football game on TV can inspire the thought that Jesus is the greatest quarterback imaginable. A shoestring can serve as a model for eternity. The postal service may be a delivery mechanism for miracles.

In a book of lighthearted, thought-provoking essays started while she was serving as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, author Nancy Caughron delivers spiritual lessons found in everything from the laws of physics to the lyrics of the Mamas and Papas. Even cookies, candles, and chewing gum take on new meaning. Each essay is meant to be read in one sitting and will elaborate on a single thought or idea. You’ll find new ways to relate to your faith, to pray, and to understand the many ways in which God is all around.
