It is with great joy and gratitude that I present to you Falling to God’s Gardens: 50 Devotions for the Discovery of Divine Love After Divorce.

This book was one year in the making. It is a devotional memoir written for the dark nights of the soul that for so many of us come through the ending of one of our most significant and intimate relationships, a marriage.

With heart rendering honesty, Falling to God’s Gardens is more than just a devotional; it is a deeply textured thematic memoir that delves into the heart of what St. John of the Cross called our dark nights of the soul that lead us ultimately from the depths of despair toward union with God. With guidance from scripture, saints throughout the millennia, and original prayers and blessings, Falling to God’s Gardens helps the brokenhearted and those suffering from our deepest loss and grief return to the real presence of God, Christ, Mary, and the Holy Spirit within every breath.

Why a devotional? Because through the year following my young marriage’s end, a profound shift occurred within me through radical honesty and God’s Divine Love and Mercy. Through the hardest year of my life, with a courage for honesty afforded only by God’s Love I realized that I had spent my life until now living for myself and suffering so much for it, for when we live for ourselves, we live separated from God.

In the falling of the falsehoods that are our ego personality, we fall to God and His gardens, our true home and the essence of Divine Love. This most divine fall, reserved exclusively for our darkest nights of the soul, brings us ever closer toward perfect union in awareness with the presence of God and Christ and the true meaning of this rare and precious life on Earth. And in truth it may be less that we fall from grace than toward it.
