The Spring Collection and Other Opportunities for You
Join TheWayBack2Ourselves.com as we rest, grow, and heal IN HIS GARDEN.
This is one of my favorite newsletters because The Spring Collection: IN HIS GARDEN from TheWayBack2Ourselves.com’s Literary Journal is finally here! This has been a complete labor of love for the editors, me, and our entire community for the past few months. Hundreds of pieces were submitted, and we were able to narrow it down to about 80 faithful creatives for our digital collection, which is LIVE now at our website and is FREE TO READ.
You can read my official “Letter from the Editor” introducing the collection and its theme here: In His Garden: A Letter from the Editor — THE WAY BACK TO OURSELVES. And you can enjoy the collection in its entirety here: The Way Back to Ourselves Literary Journal — THE WAY BACK TO OURSELVES.

JOIN US IN HIS GARDEN…
We warmly encourage you to take your time with this beautiful collection, which makes a great companion for Holy Week and this Easter Season, as it was designed to do. It would also be outstanding devotional material, reading one author a day for the next 80 days, too. Regardless of how you decide to read, we pray the art and writing you find here are deeply healing and emotionally profound for you, as every piece, whether it praises, laments, searches, or wonders, ultimately points the reader to God’s goodness and Christ’s work on the cross.
This is a journal for everyone. The believer. The seeker. The dreamer. The doubter. The prodigal son or daughter. We have built a spacious banquet table here at The Way Back to Ourselves, and it is our mission to engage with culture and souls in a generous and authentic way. Our mission is to beautify the Kingdom, love others deeply, and share the truth of the Gospel like Christ did with the woman at the well. It is a work that says, like Christ did, “Come as you are, but do not leave as you are. Come close. Be seen. Be loved. And be changed.”
We pray this journal does just that for our community and readers! This is a spirit people are hungry for, and it’s why there are now thousands of us who have gathered around this flickering flame of brotherly love and unity and have made it into a hearty fire that is warming and nurturing so many who are searching for wholeness and connection.
Exalted Ground is Here NOW…
Thank you to those of you who have purchased my book, Exalted Ground! It debuted #1 in Christian Poetry and #2 in all Religious Poetry. I am very grateful. If you love poetry, are walking through a hard season, or love someone who’d be blessed by this book, I warmly invite you to pick up a copy. It was written with you in mind in five chapters: For Those Who Praise, Lament, Wonder, Search, and Create.
And before I go, here’s a round-up of things you don’t want to miss:
