(Self-published, 2020)
The author, who spent many years working in school ministry, shares this collection of spiritual meditations — one for each day of the year — that offers a creative and rich way to spark ideas and conversations. “Drawn from ordinary moments in life, the meditations are intended to point even the most spiritually reluctant readers to the sacredness of life,” noted Bristol, who writes about the spiritual life in unconventional ways, from blog posts to children’s books, a meditation book to a novel. “I use all means necessary to help my readers to see life from a new perspective,” he said.
