Some Unexpected and Tough News

Our family got some bad news this week. You can follow that story at this link, "And Sometimes the Little Things Are Big Things.". It looks like our second book will be a little different now than we have been picturing. The same God who carried us through every adventure in our first book, "Swaying in the Treetops," will carry us through this unexpected (for us) bend in the road now. We would cherish your prayers as we begin this new piece of our journey.

Reviews are Coming In


The reviews are coming in on Amazon for "Swaying In the Treetops." They are all 5-stars, so far. If you're still trying to decide about reading this book, take a look at the reviews here on Amazon.

Here's a sample:

Swaying in the Treetops is the true story of one family’s decision to live according to God’s calling; to rescue orphans from hopelessness, and in some cases certain death, and provide a home where they can thrive in safety and experience the love of God in tangible ways. In doing so, the Rosenows are learning to trust God’s love, his provision, and his plan. Here they offer us a glimpse of what that looks like so that we might be encouraged in our own callings.

This is not a book about adoption, although adoption figures prominently in it. It is not a primer on practical theology, but it will show how theology informs our practice. No instructions are offered to show us proper Christian living, but there are lessons to be learned. Although it’s not a novel, its narrative is just as engaging and riveting as any bestselling work of fiction in stores now. The writing style offers great readability that is a hallmark of lighter fare. But make no mistake, there is a weightiness that will stay with you long after you turn the last page.
