Gathered in actual coffeehouses and cafes, each of the seventeen stories found in this unique, inspirational book will induce in the reader a sense of wonder and awe at the mystery and profound wisdom discovered in the course of daily life.
The stories in Insights from the Coffeehouse show people dealing with the raw "stuff" of the business of daily living-from the loss of a child to the discovery of unexpected love to confronting chronic illness. Each story focuses on a simple truth, whether it is courage, patience, healing or humor that enables us to live creatively and in a state of gratitude.
Insights from the Coffeehouse is spirituality for adults. Through these real-life stories, we are introduced to a way of being that inspires courage and hope in the face of adversity. We are encouraged to live our lives with the understanding that there are no easy answers wrapped up in neat little packages; that life is ultimately a mystery punctuated with glimpses of the wonder of eternity.

"We are like miners prospecting for gold. As we unearth a pocket here and a pocket there-who knows?-together we may suddenly discover a rich vein of the precious metal, extending it further and running deeper than we ever imagined." -From the Introduction to Insights from the Coffeehouse.
