Where All Our Journeys End: Searching for the Beloved in Everyday Life explores our need to connect and reconnect with the Divine and all that has been graced by her. In these writings, we remember who and what we are in our blessings of being human beings entrusted to co-create; human beings who are divine sparks of the divine essence; human beings who love, passionately love, all of creation. For the Beloved is our ultimate destiny, where all our journeys truly do end. This book captures the audience with the grace of God/Goddess as the reader is taken chapter by chapter on a journey into healing. Written in a passionate, holistic voice, with personal and professional stories, Where All Our Journeys End projects a natural rhythm, expressed in the ebb and flow of its prose and poetry, which transforms thinking into being and doing for the Beloved in discovery and recovery. ADVANCED REVIEWS AND ENDORSEMENTS "C.

Many Christians experience low points in their faith, times when their spiritual lives have grown cold, stagnant, or routine. They feel frustrated and desperate to reconnect with God.

Finding hope when faced with the devastating loss of your most precious dreams. At 20 weeks pregnant, Lindsey Dennis and her husband were told the child she was carrying would not live due to a fatal diagnosis. Later, in another stunning blow, they were told the same news with her second pregnancy. They chose to celebrate both lives alongside a community, both local and online, of hundreds of thousands as she carried each child to term only to bury them 14 months apart from each other. Through the crushing of their hopes and dreams, they came to know the kind of resurrection hope that can rise from the grave. This experience of infant loss revealed to Dennis how sorrow and suffering are instruments in the hands of God to forge in us a greater joy and hope than one can ever know. This kind of joy can only be discovered when we walk through the deep pain of burying our most precious dreams. Buried Dreams offers an uplifting perspective, sharing how devastating loss of personal dreams can give way to unimaginable hope and how death can give way to life. Framing her own story of staggering loss and soaring hope with biblical perspective, Dennis highlights that we can never plan for the unexpected turns of this life that sometimes lead to great personal suffering, but we can reach for the One who is there with us in the loss. Product Features: Shares how unrealized dreams can give way to unimaginable hope. Shows how sorrow and suffering are instruments in the hands of God. Rekindles hope for those who have experienced loss.
