Quilting hobbyist Lucinda Secrest McDowell sees each moment as a piece of quilt that God weaves together to make a glorious lifelong work of art. In Quilts from Heaven, she thoughtfully recognizes the threads of faithfulness, stitches filled with love, and the all-important lining of His grace while assembling her own patchwork of Scripture, testimony, and heartwarming stories. Most uniquely, the author compares the designs from many traditional quilting patterns to God's intricate work in every person's life.

Do you ever struggle between being with God and doing for God?Now you can truly embrace both--sitting at the Master's feet as well as walking in His way. Live These Words examines forty vibrant words from the Word and gives you action points to enrich your life. Out of the being will come the doing.

Live These Words: An Active Response to God

Do you long for serenity and refuge, peace and hope? Are you seeking a deeper spiritual life through a closer relationship with God? If you're tired of dwelling in busyness and noise, then perhaps one word a day can change your life. Award-winning author Lucinda Secrest McDowell knows that if you spend time each day turning to God's Word for wisdom and guidance, your faith can flourish and grow. Through short and inspiring readings, McDowell unpacks a single word - such as mercy, beauty, gratitude, or grace - to reveal a biblical blessing or challenge relevant to where you are. Full of stories and illustrations to empower you to live the word you have just read, each devotional ends with a benediction, written as if God were speaking directly to you. These "dwelling places" that offer the joy of God's promise and presence cover four seasons: fall, Advent, Lent, and summer. Whether in the midst of busy holiday schedules, holy days, ordinary moments, or changing seasons, a deeper faith can be as simple as a single word.
