Author Description

Would you like to experience more of the remarkable in your normal? Have a few shots of devotional "espresso"? Open a window for a fresh breeze in your life?Join Charles Haley on a tour of Praise in the Time Stream of Our Lives as he chronicles a six-month slice of life divided into twelve themed sections of written reflections. Following the flow of life from special grand occasions such as weddings or places visited on vacation to noticing a wind-blown leaf or buying a cup of coffee for a homeless woman who always carries an exotic goldfish in a plastic bag, Charles endeavors to praise God for reasons great and small, from the mundane to the magnificent. His penchant for praise is contagious--you'll begin looking differently at life and responding to people in new ways.Taking time to look--and letting your heart rise to God in the everyday things you are experiencing (and maybe neglecting or taking for granted)--would that be a positive thing for you? Might a heightened responsiveness to what is right in front of you help you live more fully aware of God's presence in the most unrehearsed moments of life? Tricklets of praise can become waves of worship, as the book's concluding section explains. But it all begins with headwaters of praise. And why does God want or need our praise anyway? This book will help you find out why and point the way. Sparkling, invigorating, and compelling.
