Hello, John!

Have you ever considered how miraculous you are? That's what Shannon K. Evans asks in her recently released guided journal, Luminous: A 30-Day Journal for Accepting Your Body, Honoring Your Soul, and Finding Your Joy. As part of understanding the body as one of God's gifts, Shannon reflects on the slim chance of any one person being here at all:

"Science indicates that your body is composed partly of stardust. Faith tells us this was no accident. The presence of your body on this earth today is a miracle—a massive statistical improbability. And yet here you are, held fast in the divine generosity of this body you were given. Here you are, your flesh and bones a product of a perfect, generative, mysterious Love; a Love that holds all things together."

Luminous: A 30-Day Journal for Accepting Your Body, Honoring Your Soul, and Finding Your Joy is now available to order wherever books are sold, including from Franciscan Media’s online bookstore (the most direct way for your purchase to support our mission). 

Peace and all good!
