Life can get us down-or let us down-at one time or another. At those times we need our faith lifted and our spirits inspired, and hope planted in our hearts. We need to see beauty in creation, in the simple things of life: a new day or a new dawn, dew on a rose in full bloom, an insect resting on a leaf, a reed blowing in the wind, a simple piece of pottery sitting in a shaft of sunlight on a windowsill, or a baby's hand curled in its grandmother's. Faith Lifts, a collection of poetry and photographs and accompanying music CD, is designed to give respite in hectic times, and to inspire the spirit to look beyond life's circumstances and encounter God.

Life can get us down--or let us down--at one time or another, often on a regular basis. At those times we need our faith lifted and our spirits inspired, and hope planted in our hearts. We need to see beauty in creation, in the simple things of life: a new day or a new dawn, dew on rose in full bloom, an insect resting on a leaf, a reed blowing in the wind, a simple piece of pottery sitting in a shaft of sunlight on a windowsill, or a baby's hand curled in its grandmother's.

Faith Lifts, a collection of poetry and photographs and accompanying music CD, is designed to give respite in hectic times. and to inspire the spirit to look beyond life's circumstances and encounter in everyday life God, who created the world and everything in it. God, who created us to know him by faith, be like him by faith, and trust him by faith that "every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good" (Rom. 8:28 MSG.) God has a plan and a purpose for each of us (Jer. 29:11 NIV.)

Gayle Ottemiller is retired after working for almost thirty years with developmentally disabled adults. Having been born with spina bifida and undergoing significant spinal surgeries early in life, and later having open heart surgery, she knows personally the pain, discouragement, and near-despair that living with chronic health issues can bring. But she also knows the miracle of God’s saving grace, the infinite beauty, and the amazing adventures found in following him and in living beyond life’s circumstances—by faith.
