It’s such a pleasure to bring this conversation to you because I know you’re going to LOVE Joy. Today, we talk about her latest book, You Are a Tree – and Other Metaphors to Nourish Life, Thought, and Prayer. If any of you love Madeline L’Engle, you will adore Joy’s writing. In it, Joy shares seven metaphors and how they apply to our lives today and shape the way we think, pray, and live. You’ll love her stories, Scripture, poetry, and art as she offers meditations to help us experience God, ourselves, our relationships, and the world in a new way…and with deeper meaning!
- How we are like a tree…and a machine, and why this matters.
- Why love is like home, and what Scripture says about it.
- Listening to the voice of God and why may be hard to figure out your calling.
