Bonnie gave me this book for Christmas in 2015, telling me it's a book that she really loves and thought I would enjoy also. She was so right!
The Zwick's are wonderful church leaders with many experiences that they share in vignettes that include their reflections on the meaning of their experiences. It's a great model for journaling the miracles that are happening in our lives every day. It's an invitation to be reflective on how God's hand is ever guiding our lives.
A couple of the stories are so powerful and instructive that I read them to Leonard. They involved Elder Zwick's experiences as a young missionary in Argentina under the direction of his mission president, Elder Richard G. Scott. Elder Zwick's experiences in rural, rough country, and negotiating lumber purchases and transportation of it to the site to build a chapel are incredible! Also, reading about the challenges he and Elder Scott faced as they traversed borders and unknown (and known!) dangers are wonderful examples of following the promptings of the Holy Spirit. These chapters were the highlight of the book for me, though there are many more that are worthy and simpler examples of lives well-lived and well-examined!
