The Last Mile Home: Ordinary Insights From an Extraordinary God

Barbara McGreger. Bloomington, Ind.: Crossbooks, 2010. 72 pp. (Paperback).

This little book is a collection of stories, poems and prayers on a variety of subjects. The stories are simple, but each one draws the reader into fresh insights and new ways of looking at the mundane things of life. The style is laid back and conversational and just far enough from the ordinary to make the entries entertaining.

 The book’s aim is “to teach readers that God is everywhere and works through everything and anything.”
