Quotes

    — Kathie Lee Gifford

  • “A book of four spiritual journeys that we can all relate to. Filled with spiritual insight, truth, beauty, and discovery—not to mention deft and beautiful prose. A story to open eyes, to comfort and remind us of the importance of relationship.”

    — Tosca Lee, New York Times bestselling author of Havah: The Story of Eve

    — ForeWord Reviews
  • “By the end of the book I was grateful for author Sharon Garlough Brown’s fresh eyes and voice. She not only gave me resharpened tools for my journey with Jesus but also reminded me that I need fellow pilgrims to love me and keep me honest along the way.”

    — Sybil MacBeth, author of Praying in Color
  • “There are books that offer a can’t-put-it-down reading experience and books that offer truths so resonant that I am compelled to stop reading and ponder awhile. Sensible Shoes is both. Its characters have become spiritual companions for my journey.”

    — Doreen Olson, executive minister of Christian formation, the Evangelical Covenant Church
  • “As a reader, I was captivated by this story and its characters. Once begun, it was hard to put down. As a long-time spiritual director and retreat leader, I found the stories of spiritual transformation to be true to what I have seen with my directees and on retreats.”

    — Rev. Jim Gaderlund, spiritual director and retreat leader
