About the book...

Ann Ridge, PhD, takes readers on a bittersweet journey through the tumultuous beginnings of 2021. Inspired by a Sunday school assignment reflecting on the COVID-19 pandemic, political upheaval, and the violent insurrection on the U.S. Capitol, these meditations explore the enduring power of light in the darkest of times. Through personal anecdotes, spiritual insights, and the wisdom of children, the book reveals the many faces of light—and how it can change the world.

From Ridge's reflections on acceptance and belonging to the transformative power of community and prayer, each entry offers a beacon of hope and a call to seek grace in everyday life.  Throughout the season of Epiphany, this journey is a testament to faith, empathy, and the strength of the human spirit.
