There are spiritual things all around us, though some of them might not seem very spiritual at first glance. For the Christian, there are spiritual lessons to be drawn from everything around us, and there are spiritual (and practical) questions that many Christians ask. In these 120 devotional readings, Elizabeth Danna draws from sources as diverse as Tolkien and Conan Doyle, Star Trek and Shakespeare, comic books and cop shows, and science and nature (and the occasional night at the movies). She also draws from current events, her own life (including lessons learned from her pets), and her ministry experience.
