Finding God incognito in the world … is delight. It is joy. It is wonder. It is a childlike, wiggling anticipation that somewhere, any moment, just around the next corner, when you least expect it, the Divine is going to jump out … and you are going to respond, “GOTCHA!”

Join award-winnning Christian author Karen Mains on the God Hunt — a playful and profound way to seek and find those seemingly ordinary moments when God intervenes in your life with guidance, care and help. You’ll find such moments happen more often than you think! And you’ll be drawn into deeper communion with God as you tune in to the many ways he answers prayer, shows evidence of his love, helps you do his work in the world and “works all things together for good.”

Lonely No More by Karen Mains

“This personal memoir was an attempt to capture as honestly as possible my journey through the mid-life process. I had chosen the title of Stranger to Myself No More, which I felt more closely described the contents of the book than the title that the marketing department finally chose.

“This is an ‘inscape’ to use that descriptor from Gerard Manley Hopkins, a look at the inward journey of the soul. I attempted to capture the struggles of personal dislocation that occur from being a Mom, a woman with a profession, a husband in national media ministry and how that story intertwines with God’s action and persuasion in one life.”

“It is honest, frank, revealing and lyrical because it is an attempt to understand the meaning of my own life.”

In the The Key to a Loving Heart, renowned author Karen Mains suggests practical principles and true-life illustrations that help us understand and practice true forgiveness within ourselves, and in our corporate Body, the church.

Our heart is a habitation,” says Karen Mains. “There is a mansion in our souls for which we need to take intimate responsibility.” Unfortunately, because of sin, our hearts consist of “mean rooms, damp basements, narrow hallways, cramped spaces . . . The place God created to be open to the fresh wind of his Spirit, the dwelling he desires to occupy in order that it may be habitable to others, has become boarded. the windows are shuttered, the blinds drawn. Dust is accumulating. The doors have been padlocked.”

What is the key that will unlock a wide veranda here, a turret spiraling there, or a whole new wing of rooms? The key that opens the door to the locked rooms of our hearts is forgiveness. And that is what this book is all about . . .
