<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Just as plants need sunlight to thrive, we need God's presence. Far too often we lean into habits, relationships, and behaviors that don't benefit us. In <em>Leaning Toward the Light</em>, you have the opportunity to feed your hungry soul with encouragement, faith, hope, and love.</p> <p>Are you experiencing times of refreshing or perhaps facing challenging circumstances and a difficult season? Let these words of encouragement, many written while the author was serving as a missionary in Kenya, cause your own spirit to find help from God.</p> <p>Above all else, this collection of devotionals by a missionary, a wife, and a mother reveal God's action, His light shining throughout the world and through His children.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"I find Mary Ellen's new devotional refreshing for each of us who encounter the daily struggle to reflect Christ in a world of difficulties, challenges, and weariness. Always pointing the reader to Christ, she encourages us to choose gratefulness, selflessness, and joy in our responses to life's circumstances as we journey on the narrow way to the abundant life which Christ offers. The glimpses into her life as a missionary in the African culture are an intriguing and enriching invitation to broaden our horizons and think beyond our own cultural perspectives. I would highly recommend this book for both young and old alike." --Evelyn Miller, Author, <i>Feminine Beauty</i></p><br><br><p>"Mary Ellen has lovingly prepared a nourishing stew of devotional morsels from the gardens of her life. Two gardens 10,000 miles apart--the slums of Africa and the hills of Ohio. Dipping into the hearty mixture, the next bite may be a spicy Kenyan anecdote or homegrown goodness from Ohio's Amish Country. Simmering in a base of passion for God and truth and peppered with exhortation, the nuggets Mary Ellen has collected along her journey nourish the hearts of girls and women in varied life stages and circumstances." --Dorcas Hoover, Author, <i>House Calls and Hitching Posts</i></p><br><br>"Mary Ellen's encouraging voice calls women of all ages and stations toward a greater devotion to God. She applies the wisdom she has learned from Him and His people and brings it to bear on stories from her years in Africa and America. I am inspired by Mary Ellen's assurance that, though cultures differ, attitudes are universal, and the source of Light is changeless on every continent. Under her quiet guidance, I felt myself leaning toward Him." --Sheila Petre, Author, <i>Thirty Little Fingers</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Mary Ellen Beachy</b> delights in spending time with friends, coffee in the morning, writing, a house full of books, growing fifty varieties of succulents, and special times with family. She has published several previous books, including <i>Women at the Cross</i> and <i>Children Around the World</i>. She counts herself rich with six children and ten grandchildren.</p>
