Love's Hidden Blessings by Sue Monk KIdd Having read several books by this author already-I am truly pleasantly surprised at the freshness of detail and insight she manages to convey. Many details of her past have found a way of providing both the author and the reader with clarity and vision into the gentle, subtle, loving ways we all stumble in our faith. Sue Monk Kidd has found a way to reveal to us her often unexpected resting places where she has been able to travel in and out of her own way onto a more direct path to see and know her Creator. Intent in finding her way, she is discontent at what it will cost her... Although she hesitates at times, she finds the past is no longer a perfect fit and the present is ever changing and the future has offered her something truly exciting, enriching, fulfilling, compelling and she yearns to go all the way... As long as she keeps moving forward she is headed in the right direction by becoming more connected to her own soul than ever before! H-21

This is a lovely collection of Sue Monk Kidd's writing. My Mama and I always enjoyed her writing in Guieposts magazine. This feels like a collection of our favorite stories from that publication. I found it at a library sale and gave it to Mama for Christmas. I read it myself first and know that it will be a hit with her.
