Publisher's Synopsis
While working full time and going to school full time, people would ask, "Kristina, how do you do it?" to which I would reply God & coffee: in that order. With enough prayer and caffeine, anything is possible!" God's powerful work in the midst of everyday life is what GOD & COFFEE: in that order is all about. I describe daily events in my life, much in the way you probably describe your own. Family, work, career, identity, respect, dreams, and so forth are all common priorities in our lives, and oftentimes, we face challenges that seem to multiply until we inevitably feel that we have lost control. My answer to all of it is simply God & coffee. This book is full of 40 memoirs that I have written with the hope of creating a picture in your heart and mind of a place, a time, a moment, or a reflective thought; it also describes the way in which the accompanying poem was inspired. I spent six months writing GOD & COFFEE: in that order; I spent seven months reading my Bible and finding Scripture that matched the theme of each short chapter. This book represents a time in my life when the voice of God became less quite, the demands of my days became louder, and the coffee I drank became bolder with each pot that was brewed. GOO & COFFEE: in that order is about priorities and goals, about life and its struggles, but more importantly, it is a book about God's faithfulness.
