Where is our soul? How did it get there? What makes it grow? Does God love everyone? Is our anger at God justified? How do we face hardship and death? Patricia Hofer covers these questions and more in her new book, Yielding to Wonder. She has found that fresh answers and new understanding revitalize faith. Instead of being a hindrance, this spiritual hunger and discontent in every heart is a gift from God! Second in a series, Yielding to Wonder continues the day-by-day journey that began in Driving into the Dawn. Each short chapter begins with a question. The various answers Hofer offers are personal and yet far-reaching. They spring from her years of research, study, prayer, and a relationship with the Lord that has thrived for over twenty years. Hofer's first book, Power of Yielding, was an inspiring mental pilgrimage, relating her dramatic conversion experience and describing the personal awakening that resulted from it. Today Hofer continues to read widely, searching for similar spiritual awakenings in the lives of other Christians and for the most fundamental and essential Christian truths. Are you ready for a journey that renews your faith and strengthens your relationship with God? If so, some of the questions and answers in this book may be the inspiration that sets you on your way. About the Author Patricia Hofer ended her high school teaching career in the early 1980s and found her way to the Christian Science Publishing Society in Boston. Besides learning to research and edit, she eventually had several articles published. After returning to Arizona, she taught freshman English and technical writing at Glendale Community College. She is currently retired and living in the lovely mountain town of Payson, Arizona.

The Finns had a name for it: tuntaria. It meant a barren land, one which to them was frozen and devoid of life. Look deeper the voices of the inutshuks whispered mysteriously, find the way. When two adolescence boys accompany their fathers into the desolate wilderness of the Canadian tundra, they enter the extraordinary land of the native Inuit whose values of life, death, and community define a home much unlike their own. Their lives are molded forever by the rough, no-nonsense men they meet, the beautiful animals they hunt, the proximity of disaster at every turn, and the hypnotic dance of the Northern Lights. We all search for our own destiny. We question our legacy and ironically often find final salvation and our individual God sitting quietly by the side of the road, patiently waiting for us to Go With on a journey of personal discovery which is not to be missed.
