Product Description
by Kayla Smith (Author)
This book is a metaphorical toast to the process of showing up in life and how whole-person formation takes place when people allow themselves to be fully present. To Showing Up includes essays about common areas of life in all of their beauty, pain, and awkwardness. As people show up in spaces that are both familiar and unfamiliar, they are formed not only by their presence and the presence of those around them but also by the Presence of God in beauty, brokenness, and everything in-between. To Showing Up is both a story about showing up and a challenge to continue to do so.
