Each vignette manifests the indescribable joy, comfort, and peace we experience in God's presence. And because each personal story also illustrates a scripture passage from Cycle C of the Revised Common Lectionary, \u003ci\u003eSharing Visions\u003c\/i\u003e is an especially valuable resource for lectionary preaching. But even more, it's inspiring reading for personal devotion and spiritual growth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eVision Stories\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSharing Visions\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eI am rejoicing as I read the testimonies in\u003cb\u003e Sharing Visions\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eVision Stories\u003c\/b\u003e.
