The Journey From Fear to Faith
Last month I received email from a woman named Mia Grace. In her email she said she would love the opportunity to contribute a faith-strengthening article to the website. I replied telling her I would be pleased to post her article. We continued to communicate and this week I received from her the following short bio along with her beautifully written essay.
My name is Mia Grace, and I’m a Christian writer currently based in Pakistan. I came across Treasures in the Field while reading the “From Fear to Faith” devotion, which deeply resonated with me and inspired me to reach out. My heart for writing is to encourage believers in their walk with Christ—especially in seasons of uncertainty, spiritual struggle, and growth—by pointing them back to God’s faithfulness in everyday life . . .

This touching short story of the healing power of kindness is another one from Arthur Gordon’s soulful book, A Touch of Wonder, published in 1985. As I indicated in a previous post, I discovered this book on my mother’s bookshelf about 40 years ago and have purchased and given away several copies of this book, the most recent to my oldest granddaughter on her 13th birthday. Most of the stories in this book are personal events from Gordon’s life that had a transforming impact on him. Whenever I return to this book I am reminded that all of us have meaningful stories from our lives that have shaped who we are today . . .
