Some view the Christian life as a regimen or method, but Niequist sees it as a daring dream, a feast, or a masterpiece! Written by a woman who believes in God and the power of language, this collection of stories offers refreshing glimpses of hope, redemption, and celebration mingled with everyday heartache, boredom, and shattered glass. 240 pages, softcover from Zondervan.

Cold Tangerines---now available in softcover--- is a collection of stories that celebrate the extraordinary moments hidden in your everyday life. It is about God, and about life, and about the thousands of daily ways in which an awareness of God changes and infuses everything. It is about spiritual life, and about all the things that are called nonspiritual life that might be spiritual after all. It is the snapshots of a young woman making peace with herself and trying to craft a life that captures the energy and exuberance we all long for in the midst of the fear and regret and envy we all carry with us. It is both a voice of challenge and song of comfort, calling you upward to the best possible life, and giving you room to breathe, to rest, to break down, and break through. Cold Tangerines offers bright and varied glimpses of hope and redemption, in and among the heartbreak and boredom and broken glass.
