Growth Day

Share My Pleasant Stones offers personal insights and practical guidelines for expanding one's relationship with Jesus Christ through daily listening and meditation. Each entry - one for every day of the year - is headed by a quotation from the Bible and followed by notes the author has written in the margins of her own Bible over the years. It is, perhaps, Eugenia Price's most personal book. First published in 1957, and now reissued with a new preface by the author, Share My Pleasant Stones is a book Eugenia Price's listeners will want to play every day.

This book explores how the divine shows itself in our lives, and how our everyday lives are filled with that presence. You'll discover the divine in things that are delightful, when we suffer and fail and have to try again, and when our plans unfold effortlessly or come to an abrupt standstill.

This beautiful book connects your regular, everyday life with the divine.

McKoy invites us to discover how a common dining-room table can be transformed into a place where brokenness falls away to reveal peace and fellowship.

I may not know you, but I know your maker. And so I offer you my heart."

What if we truly belong to each other? What if we are all walking around shining like the sun? Mystic, monk, and activist Thomas Merton asked those questions in the twentieth century.

As a Black woman who is not Catholic, Scott both learns from and pushes back against Merton, holding spirited and intimate conversations on race, faith, and love.

If you take a moment to think about all that God has told each believer to do, it is almost overwhelming: Go into all the world and preach the gospel, feed the poor, clothe the naked, visit the prisoner and so much more. However, these "works" are to be an outpouring of our relationship with Christ, not a replacement of our devotion and time with him. That outpouring only comes through prayer.
