If You Gave God a Gift...

About the Book

Is there a life richer than the one you’re living?

If You Gave God a Gift, you’d experience a more balanced life. By striving to not just take but also give, you’d be pleasing your Creator and bringing out the best in yourself.

This anthology/memoir boasts over 370 words of wisdom and complementing photography from Rosanne’s travels. The insights come from a rich spectrum of writers, figures (traditional and contemporary), and spiritual references.

For years, Rosanne transcribed uplifting thoughts into her journals and desired to share what she’d collected. The title came to her in a dream, and the format evolved, taking on a spiritual direction of its own.

The collection is organized by “gifts,” for not only the Higher Power but for all of humanity. It provides a framework to assist in living a well-intentioned life. Rosanne’s wholehearted reflections of her faith journey jump-start each section.

In a world spinning out of control, let this be your guide for calibrating your internal moral compass. Through easy reading in tandem with thought-provoking images, you can finally slow down and achieve equilibrium.
