Featured book and special offer - by Nancy Kuykendall

I didn’t know I would write a second book, but then originally, I didn’t know I would write a first book. When I felt the calling and urging to write the first one, Mornings on the Porch, a book of nonfiction short stories, I completed it not realizing I wasn’t quite finished telling short stories. I immediately started writing more before the first book was through production. I thought the idea was acceptable since two of my favorite books, A Touch of Wonder and Through Many Windows by Arthur Gordon, are books of short stories. As it so happened, I had the second book of stories well underway, and I decided to see it through.

Ordinary Wonders is a collection of nonfiction short stories about ordinary things and circumstances—reflections on things that are common to most of us and different ways of looking at experiences. Since we are all different, we might not react in the same way or think the same way about a given set of circumstances or subject matter. Yet, we can all find wonder in ordinary things, if we look, and we can experience new ways of looking at and thinking about the ordinary. We can see the wonder in our world and expand how we experience it.

If any of these stories strike a chord with you or speak to you in any way, I am thrilled and honored. Though God created us as unique

individuals, our human experience is much the same, and we share the same world. God’s wonders and blessings are there for all of us.

You can read the stories in Ordinary Wonders in any order. Start at the beginning, the end, or even in the middle. It will not matter, as there is no set order other than that the stories are generally listed in the order I wrote them.
