Below are some of the books I’ve been reading this month; note that the following may contain spoilers:

Adorning the Dark: Thoughts on Community, Calling, and the Mystery of Making, by Andrew Peterson – This memoir is so beautiful and encouraging. Full of anecdotes, humour, and lessons learned it focuses on how we are all created to be creative and are called to help make the world a more beautiful place.

Sensing God: Experiencing the Divine in Nature, Food, Music & Beauty, by Joel Clarkson – This memoir is written so poetically and reminds, or teaches, the reader that God can be experienced through all the senses, that they all help us better understand who He is.

The Secret Garden, by Francis Hodgson Burnett – This 1911 classic, written by the same author as The Little Princess, is a wonderful read during Springtime. It shows how, with love and hard work, hurt people can change. It’s a wonderful reminder of how beautiful nature is and how we are called upon to help cultivate that beauty.
