Life With Footnotes: An Invitation to Reflect and Connect Faith to Living

Growing in our spiritual lives is about “leaning in” to what is essentially vital to us. It is about engaging in a shifting of our weight toward greater awareness, attentiveness and participation with the presence of God. Growing in awareness engages us, and it draws us into participating with God in our lives and in the world. Simply noticing God’s movement is a huge part of the Christian journey. Noticing and leaning into that “which is essential” is what it means to glimpse the presence of God in the shape of our own face.

Connecting to an essential voice in life is a huge part of our spiritual lives. Scripture, worship, and prayer have been for the Christian community the primary means of engaging with God’s voice.

This book is a series of thoughts, stories, reflections and favorite quotes on noticing and participating with God’s presence. These collected writings are an invitation to consider how we might become more aware and more in tune with God in the world around us.
