Böcker av Nancy Caughron

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.

If you love football, you know how important the receiver is, especially when the receiver is skilled enough to catch even a ball that's poorly thrown. Such a player is an incredibly valuable addition to the team; he can transform average work into victory.And if you're a postmodern techie, you know about smartphones-and the apps that promise to make your life easier, no matter what problem you bring to it. If you're facing an obstacle in the twenty-first century, the chances are good that there's an app for that.In Herein Is Love-Capacity to Live, Nancy Caughron shares her insights into God's love for us, putting divine grace in terms of everyday experiences. She shows us how God is like a receiver, transforming even our shaky efforts into something magnificent, and how Jesus is the best "app" when we're lonely or afraid. But the spiritual journey isn't just about recognizing that God accepts and loves us; it's about becoming more and more like Him. And when you can see God in even the smallest aspects of life, you learn to follow Him wherever He leads, knowing that whatever shortcomings you have are nothing compared to His grace.
