Rev. Carla Stengel has graciously dedicated the profits from her book Musing . . . a period of reflection on a year of pandemic to go to support Covax. The book is available on Amazon using the link at the bottom.
Thoughtfully written, not to give simple answers, but to ask deep questions of faith and life together on this planet, Musings is about the insights and seeking that come through a crisis during a global pandemic. Always giving the assurance — God is with us — the author believes that faith and spiritual growth are about living into the questions, observing the world and God around us, and seeking wisdom in the words of mystics and scholars of generations past. Each devotion is based on one word — a single moment in time — observed through the year of pandemic. A scripture, quote, and photos taken by the author are part of each devotion.
