Honey & Water is an invitation into healing and communion. Born out of a season of deep supplication and unfurling, it is a tender, yet hopeful proposition — nourishing poems, prayers, prose and affirmations exploring faith and surrender in the middle of deep grief and loss.
Honey & Water encourages a life of substance and sweetness in the divine middles of our lives.
The 215-page book takes the reader through the author’s own healing process in six chapters:
The hard and deep yes – on perspective, sustenance and divine providence.
The words they gave me – on legacy, place, bloodlines, heritage and unwavering generational conviction.
The in-between – on tensions, middle-ground, loss, pain, waiting and grief.
Light – on freedom, truth and the way light prevails.
Honey & water – on substance, nourishment, depth and open hands.
He brings flowers – on restoration, righteousness, and hope against all hope.
