Gracing by Hannah Packard Crowther

What if God lived with you? Right now. Every day. On this side of eternity. What if grace was not a thing that eventually made you fit for heaven, but a way to experience heaven now? What if you lived grace as a verb instead of a noun?

Hannah Packard Crowther explores this abundant, nourishing, and down-to-earth spiritual life. Coined gracing, this way of being blurs the boundaries between holiness and the mundane, between a future paradise and a present one. She pivots from lyrical reflections on fireflies to humorous pop-culture anecdotes, from wrestling with chronic disease to delighting in the sonic underwater calls of pantropical spotted dolphins. She explores algebraic relationships and family relationships, Jewish covenant and ecological interconnectedness, her Latter-day Saint faith alongside her universal hope.

Framed as a collection of seashells, Gracing gathers truths and moments that point to a deep, universal ocean—an everyday, intimate partnership with God. Ultimately, readers are invited into this creative and vibrant life.
