self-discovery, you're invited to: Cultivate the courage you need

addition to your bedside or coffee table. This is a lovely gift to
give for birthdays, holidays, and graduations. Look for the
previous books in this series: All Along You Were Blooming and How
Far You Have Come.
Perhaps in no other way do we more vibrantly reflect our creator
than with our creativity. Whether through music, writing, baking,
painting, posting on social media, dancing, or any other form of
artistic expression within our grasp, we were created to create.
Yet, there are times we may be unsure about our art, times when our
creating and making doesn't feel possible or purposeful or
practical. Rachel Marie Kang wants you to know that your art is not
peripheral to life--it is at the very heart of why you exist and
what you have to offer to yourself and to the world. In Let There
Be Art, she gives you permission to embrace the peace, pleasure,
and purpose inherent in your art and in the process of making it.
This passionate, creative, and cathartic journey invites you to
create truthfully out of the broken and beautiful pieces of your
life, as well as offer your heart and your art in hopes of helping
a hurting world.
In a world that's difficult to make sense of, and a season that's
so often overtaken by consumerism, here you'll find heart-stirring
illustrations and thought-provoking meditations designed to show
you the raw, powerfully sacred story of Christmas in a new light.
Has the joy of the holiday season become painfully dissonant with
the hard edges of life? Do you feel weary from the way Christmas
has become a polished, predictable brand? You aren't alone. For too
many of us, Christmas has lost its wonder. What if we stopped
treating the Christmas story as something that happened a long time
ago and started believing that it's a story that's still happening
today? From celebrated artist and storyteller Scott Erickson comes
Honest Advent, 25 days of illustrations and meditations that will
help you rekindle the wonder of this season. Honest Advent creates
a space for you to encounter the Incarnate Christ in unexpected
places: like a pregnancy announcement in an era of political unrest
and empirical bloodshed, the morning sickness of a Middle Eastern
teenager, and the shocking biology of birth that goes far beyond
the sanitized brand of Christmas as we know it today. Within the
pages of Honest Advent, Erickson teaches us the valuable lessons
he's learned about: Finding hope and light in the darkest winters
What it means to embrace the unexpected How God uses everyday
vulnerability to help us understand ourselves, and our faith,
better Through powerful benedictions, prayers, and questions for
honest reflection, you'll discover how the wonder of God-with-Us is
still happening today: in your unexpected change of plans, your
unaccomplished dreams, your overcrowded lodging, and your humble
stories of new beginnings. Praise for Honest Advent: "Scott
Erickson's beautifully crafted book helped me see God-with-Us with
fresh eyes. Honest Advent is no shallow seasonal gift book; it's an
invitation to explore the divine flourishes of everyday human
vulnerabilities. A transformative read, regardless of the time of
year." --Jonathan Merritt, author of Learning to Speak God from
Scratch "Beautiful. Evocative. A wake-up call to the mystery of
life." --John Mark Comer, author of The Ruthless Elimination of
Hurry
When you breathe in all the grace available to you and release
everything that is outside of your control, you'll discover peace
that surpasses your circumstances. All it takes is practice. If you
feel overwhelmed with anxiety about the future, you're far from
alone. For many of us, when we're not worrying about what is to
come, we find ourselves wrestling with things from the past. Where
does that leave us today? Morgan Harper Nichols has learned the
answer to this question. She has examined stories from her own life
and the lives of people around the world and noticed a common
thread: we all long for peace. We're all seeking light and life.
But these things don't happen passively. Peace Is a Practice
invites you to become a peacemaker in your own life, starting right
where you are, and in some of the most unexpected places. As these
words and images inspire you to take daily steps toward peace,
you'll uncover the key to: Embracing the beauty of the present
Letting go of regret of the past and fear of the future Developing
a path toward meaning and authenticity Approaching life's
challenges with faith and a calm confidence Feeling peace even in
the midst of uncertainty or difficult times In every moment, there
is something as deep and boundless as a winding river waiting to be
found--a true peace that flows, beckoning you to rest . . . and be
still.

meaning in the losses and wild anticipation for the splendor ahead

What is it like to be an Enneagram Five? Instagram poet and artist
Morgan Harper Nichols reflects on this question in a spirit of
honest self-assessment and with a desire for personal and spiritual
growth. She draws wisdom from the deep wells of counseling and
spirituality using illustrations from both Scripture and life. Each
of these forty readings concludes with an opportunity for further
engagement such as a prayer, a spiritual practice, or a reflection
question. Morgan's art enhances the readings as well. Any of us can
find aspects of ourselves in any of the numbers. The Enneagram is a
profound tool for empathy, so whether or not you are a Five, you
will grow from your reading about Fives and enhance your
relationships across the Enneagram spectrum.
