When life gets hard, and you long for spiritual, physical, and emotional rest, what do you do? Where and to whom do you turn? The Resting Place: Finding Hope, Peace, and Joy in All Circumstances contains encouraging devotions written from the heart of one who has experienced life's heartaches. Throughout this book, Carolyn McDaniel Canizales weaves just a fraction of her inspiring story within the devotions and poems she has written. Her life experiences are proof that God is faithful to His Word when we trust Him, brings joy amidst our sorrows, builds our faith during times of loss and uncertainty, and makes us strong, humble, and tender in His presence. It is in the Gentle Shepherd's arms where each of us will find our resting place. As you daily abide in the Lord and read these devotions centered on God's Word, may you find encouragement, rest, comfort, and enduring strength. Carolyn McDaniel Canizales grew up in East Texas and has been married to her husband, Ray, for 37 years. They live in Central Texas and are parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents. Carolyn and Ray have been members of their church in Austin, Texas, for over 35 years and have served in various ministries within the church. They remain active members of The Gideons International and are dedicated to sharing their faith and making God's Holy Word available to everyone around the world.
