Found Adrift: 40 Days of Recovering Grace by Pauline Creeden is an inspiring and well written guide for returning to Jesus. Many of us have quietly drifted away from our first love, Jesus. Sadly, we are living in a spiritual desert. Pauline Creeden gently leads us out of our barren wasteland. Each day , she nourishes our souls with delicious morsels of Christian wisdom, that she has gathered from her own life experiences. Step by step, we follow as she unfolds the path back to grace. We are not to dwell on how we drifted away,but rather we are to turn our focus away from ourselves and look to Jesus.The author uses Scripture verses, interesting anecdotes and thought provoking prayers to assist us.We are borne along slowly and carefully. We hardly realize that we are growing and maturing as Christians. Amazingly, we are only seeking Jesus now. Distractions and trivial things are falling away. God is filling our hearts with His unconditional love. Soon we find we are praising Him and then loving Him back.Before long our prayer life changes, and we aren't asking God for things; rather, we are content to calmly wait for the Lord's leading.As God continues to graciously bless us , the author reminds us that, "Every blessing He gives, He expects me to give away and not keep for myself."I recommend this book as both a spiritual guide and a spiritual companion on your faith walk.
