Book excerpt: Uncovering the deeper spiritual meaning underlying everyday events, Heaven in the Orchard, by Father Ted Auble, presents a collection of stories and recollections. He draws on reflections from a wealth of personal experiences with his faith as a theology student at the Catholic University of Louvain in Belgium; as a Peace Corps volunteer in South Korea; and as a priest ordained to minister in the diocese of Rochester, New York. Each reflection, a standalone piece, uses personal anecdotes to illustrate how God works in the lives of Christians. The vignettes, introduced with quotes from scripture, address an array of topics that are on the minds of many in todays world, such as hunger, change, identity, sibling rivalry, gratitude, leadership, gluttony, parenting, and more. Auble uses these stories to provide direction on living a faith-filled life. Insightful and inspiring, Heaven in the Orchard helps Christians find comfort and guidance in the Bible. Each selection is an invitation to examine the seeds of ones own experiences to discover the rich life that lies hidden beneath the surface.
