God Is In The Small Stuff- New hardback w/dust cover
Retail: $12.99 ISBN 1-57748-448-7

Sometimes it's easy to sense God's presence when you observe His handiwork in nature. You see His majesty in the snow-covered mountains; you feel His serenity in a starry night. These are dramatic reminders of the enormity of God, but contemplating God in nature often leaves us with a lopsided understanding of Him.

The purpose of this book is to help you see God at His personal best. God created the universe, but He also created you. God knows you, God loves you, and God cares about the tiniest details of your life.

"When women share their stories, they pass along the gift of their struggles, their insights, and their courage. Living Simply in God's Abundance is a rich tapestry of wisdom woven from the stories of author Suzanne Dale Ezell and the generations of women who have influenced her. Following the seasons of a woman's life -- Spring: filled with wonder; Summer: actively building family and career; Autumn: enjoying the benefits of earlier investments; Winter: increasing in spiritual and personal understanding -- every day's reading offers insight into the joys and struggles of each stage and practical advice for managing and cherishing that stage."
