Breakfast Epiphanies Finding Wonder in the

David Anderson has been a popular columnist in his parish for many years. Writing about his everyday experiences-like cleaning up the yard after a storm, waiting in the doctor's office, even helping his teenage daughters pick out fall dresses-he explores how the divine surprises us in these ordinary events. Breakfast Epiphanies is a collection of forty-one of these true-life tales. "I wish David Anderson had written Breakfast Epiphanies twenty years ago. Reading it then would have made me a better person, parent, and pastor. In any event, I'm glad it's here now. And I bet you will be too." -Philip Gulley, author of Front Porch Tales "This is a delightful book, wise without being precious; entertaining without being trivial . . . Readers of almost any persuasion should enjoy Anderson's affable company." -June Sawyers, Booklist "D. H. Lawrence once called wonder our sixth sense, a natural religious sense. Anderson's tutorial on this spiritual practice is refreshing." -Spirituality and Health

David Anderson is rector of Trinity Church in Solebury, Pennsylvania, and a columnist for The Pennsylvania Episcopalian. He has received various awards for his writing, including a Lilly Endowment grant. He lives with his wife, Pam Anderson, a cookbook author, and his two daughters in New Hope, Pennsylvania.
