When going in circles is a good thing.
Is the journey of living from our vocational center, our calling, best depicted as a straight journey, or one with many twists and turns? In this video, Dan reflects on a Celtic vision of “wandering” with God, becoming who were designed to be through the winding dance of life.

Sheltering Mercy: Prayers Inspired by the Psalms
Sheltering Mercy, along with its companion volume, Endless Grace, helps us rediscover the rich treasures of the Psalms—through free-verse prayer renderings of their poems and hymns—as a guide to personal devotion and meditation.
Millions have used the Psalms as part of their personal and corporate prayer life, and the psalms have inspired countless other prayers in many streams of faith. This book contains 75 prayers drawn from Psalms 1-75, providing lyrical sketches of what authors Ryan Smith and Dan Wilt have seen, heard, and felt while sojourning in the Psalms. Each prayer is a response to the Psalms written in harmony with Scripture. These prayers help us quiet our hearts and welcome us into a safe place amid the storms of life.
This artful, poetic, and classic devotional book features compelling custom illustrations and a hardcover binding, offering a fresh way to reflect on and pray the Psalms.
