A dear friend of mine, Cheryl Smith and I have walked hand-in-hand (virtually) through the journey of publishing a book together.  Several years ago the Lord had laid upon Cheryl's heart the vision of writing this book "Biblical Minimalism".  After writing the book, she laid it aside for a time, as events in her life, some included in the ending of the book were taking center place in her life.  

Last fall, the Lord laid on my heart the vision to write a book, which I have since published "Through Love's Eyes".  After sharing my thoughts with Cheryl about writing my book, she and I together began to work diligently to get our books published.  As we walked together on this journey of faith, covid-19 arrived on the scene, and we realized that both our books would be published in a time when typical avenues of book sales would be shuttered.  However, we persevered and had our books published.  Both of us had just received our own personal copies of our books, and promised to send each other a copy.  Both of us, unknowing to each other, mailed copies of our book to each other... and this is not an exaggeration, but simply confirmation of just how the Lord works in little details... we received each other's published books, both on the same day! How incredible is that!  

I can tell you this powerful book that Cheryl has written has been poured out of a life spent in prayer before the Lord, and the scriptures, experiences, and insights you will find in this book will be life-changing.  

If you have always yearned for that special secret place in the Lord, there are insights in this book that will take you from a life of abundance to a more abundant life in Jesus.  You see, following Jesus doesn't guarantee an easy road through life.  Instead as we look more closely into the life of Jesus, we see a much different picture, and Cheryl paints that picture beautifully for us... and not only shows you what it must have been like to follow Jesus when He walked this earth, but how it can look today.  

Her journey is shared as an example of what walking by faith looks like, but it will not be like your journey... or mine.  Each of us are called by the Lord to walk with Him, but how that looks in each of our lives will be different.  One thing that will be central to all of us though... is that Jesus is Lord of all, of everything in our heart, lives, mind and soul.  Cheryl shares powerful scriptures and testimonies of just how to live that abundant life in Jesus.  

Cheryl Smith is the author of the book “Biblical Minimalism,” the story of her family’s journey from a life of abundance to a more abundant life. She is the author of the blogs Biblical Minimalism, where she writes about minimalism from a Biblical perspective, and Homespun Devotions, where she writes devotionals and conducts “Inner Views.” She loves to spend time with her husband and son in the mountains, sing and play Bluegrass music, and write."
