Finding God Abiding: Daily Meditations

“‘Good questions are hospitable,’ notes Eberle. ‘Gracious questions help the hearers bring their own truth to light.’ In this book, Eberle’s short, often poignant stories regularly testify to the power of good and gracious questions others have asked her, helping her to find God’s voice in a messy world. But more importantly, Finding God Abiding is filled with good and gracious questions that Eberle dares to ask us, her readers. I am slowly working through this book as a personal retreat for myself and discovering my journal overflows with new ‘truths’ coming ‘to light.’” —Ann Garrido, Associate Professor of Homiletics, Aquinas Institute of Theology

“Like a four-movement Mozart symphony that arrests attention, prompts reflection, provokes a smile, and elicits tears of joy as the music makes its way into our souls, Finding God Abiding is a masterful, heartwarming collection of brief daily meditations which, stitched together like a beautiful tapestry, portrays the ways in which a God who actually abides with us can be perceived, embraced, trusted, known. Eberle has given us a book that I will return to time and time again, just as I do the Mozart symphonies of long ago.” —Jeff Crosby, author of Language of the Soul: How God Meets Us in the Longings of Our Hearts

“Christine Eberle’s new book, Finding God Abiding, reminds us in the gentlest of ways to remember to love, to experience life, and to question, even as we live with a God we don’t always understand. In times as uncertain as these, it perfectly assures us that it is acceptable to be imperfect. With stories that find meaning in the everyday, Finding God Abiding urges us to look deeper as we Perceive, Become, Embrace, and Release our lives to a God who never leaves us. Even though we may be “slow learners,” we are, as Christine reminds us, ‘loved by a patient teacher.’ This book will live by my bedside and be a balm to my spirit daily.” —Mary Fran Bontempo, Two-time TEDx Speaker and Award-winning author of The 15 Minute Master and Brilliantly Resilient

“She reminds us of the Beauty that unites us in heart and soul as we let go of past securities and head forward together into an uncertain future. Savor this book and know that you are not alone.” –Bro. Michael McGrath, OSFS, Artist, Author, and Storyteller
