Wake Up to Wonder:

22 Invitations to Amazement in the Everyday

In her quest to live a vibrant spiritual life, Karen had a revelation: she didn't need to find the perfect plan; she needed people she could follow. 

In Wake Up to Wonder, Marsh introduces us to those people: 22 faithful yet oh-so-human Christians from across centuries and cultures. Inspired by their example, she offers playful, simple practices that bring deeper meaning and purpose to everyday life -- a collage of spiritual and personal experiments anyone can do.

Wake up to wonder and discover that a life of spiritual depth, amazement, and connection is within reach, today and every day.
