C.S. Lewis likened hard times to “God’s megaphone,” a season when the
Creator’s ways are made clear and proven merciful. Mustard Seeds author
Lynn Coulter agrees, writing here across fifteen essays about the natural graces
and “God signs” that emerged during a three-year period of hardship and
sustain her faith today.
From personal events (her parents’ deaths, a job loss) to universal cripplers
(stress, worry), Coulter’s fresh anecdotes unearth the little daily markers of
God’s love and care while staying rooted in Scripture. Her writings fuse the
observational strength of Anne Lamott’s nonfiction with the warm delivery of
Sue Monk Kidd’s devotional books and are sure to be passed around as tools
of encouragement and faith strengthening among friends.
Chapters include “Used People,” “Deep Healing,” and “Nothing without Joy.”
