Lent through the Little Things: Encountering Jesus in Life's Ordinary Moments

This 40-day Lenten devotional will help you encounter Jesus in your everyday moments and surroundings—at the shoe store, the kitchen sink, a coffee shop, or in your car.

He leaves his mark on all creation, if only we look for him. These readings bring us to the cross, where our Savior offers free and abundant grace!

“This is a wonderful Lenten devotional! Linda has a satisfying way of connecting ordinary things, places, and events with the spiritual, and does so in a way that makes one want to keep reading! Refreshing reminders for all year long — really! I’m very much enjoying this book, and encourage people to buy it for themselves and for gifts.” -Kathy D.

This heartwarming anthology from Michelle Rayburn and twenty-one other contributors, including Linda Hanstra, brings together diverse voices and experiences to support and inspire you as you step into a new chapter of life.

From the joyful to the bittersweet, these mothers share personal stories, poems, and reflections on embracing change, redefining relationships, and finding renewed purpose after the kids leave home.

The Reimagined Empty Nest is more than a collection of stories. It’s a source of encouragement, a testament to resilience, and a celebration of the beautiful possibilities that lie ahead.

About Linda…

Mother of four and wife of one, I’m an empty nester who loves to bike, travel and write creative non-fiction. I write to share the joy in my journey and reflect His light along the way.

If your nest is full-for-now, soon-to-be-empty, or all the birds have flown, my words offer joy, faith, and hope for your next chapter!
