New book leads believers on an introspective 30-day journey to
encourage awareness of God as a transforming relationship
OMAHA,
Neb., April 29, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In a
part-spiritual autobiography and part-guided meditation, certified
spiritual director and author Mark Ekstrom invites believers
to join him on a journey of self-discovery and faith while offering
insight into his spiritual ups and downs, doubts, and wonderings in
his new book, "Experiencing Grace: A Thirty-Day Pilgrimage with a
Mildly Autistic Mystic."
"You don't have to be perfect or free of
doubt to be a faithful Christian," Ekstrom said. "One size does not
fit all when living out our faith. What is important is for you to
seek a deeper connection with God and accept the love you
deserve."
Organized as a 30-day pilgrimage with daily meditations, readers
are guided through reflection questions, scripture readings,
spiritual disciplines, and prayer to experience God's love and
grace, foster a deep spirituality, and build a personal
relationship with God.
"I want to reach spiritual seekers;" Ekstrom said, "that perhaps
don't feel they fit into any category or were made to feel that
they are 'different'."
With guidance and insights shared by Ekstrom, readers are
offered the playbook for experiencing God's presence better,
specifically for those who may face unique obstacles, including
those on the autism spectrum. He encourages his readers to see
themselves as worthy of God's love and grace, no matter the
marginalization made by religion.
"You don't have to be perfect or free of doubt to be a faithful
Christian," Ekstrom said. "One size does not fit all when living
out our faith. What is important is for you to seek a deeper
connection with God and accept the love you deserve."
