Unseen Footprints: Encountering the Divine along the Journey of Life

by Sheridan Voysey

Overview

It might be a spectacular sunset. A kind deed by a stranger. Or maybe a random "aha moment" that leaves you sensing there's more to this life than what you can see. Something bigger. Perhaps Someone bigger.
 
Unseen Footprints opens our spiritual eyes to the activity of the divine all around us. Sheridan Voysey takes feelings common to the human experience—pain, yearning, doubt, awe—and through them points to the possibility of a real God who is there. And who cares.
Featuring stories from contemporary life and insights from his own spiritual journey, Voysey creatively intersects the mundane and spiritual. That's where an open heart can discover an authentic relationship with the God who's been walking beside us all along . . . leaving unseen footprints.
