Dear Friend,

One of the most wonderful gifts of Maureen O’Brien’s spiritual memoir was that reading it made me feel like I was her friend. It was as if we were journeying through life's heartbreaks and blessings together.  
 
I had never really sat and read the Psalms. I didn't know the history behind them, nor did I realize how powerful and timely they could be in my own spiritual life. But that all changed when I read Maureen's book, it blew me away.

In this spiritual memoir, writer Maureen O'Brien reflects on the many ways in which she found a home and a refuge in the biblical Psalms, drawing strength from them in a wide variety of experiences and seeking in them a safe shelter from life's storms. 

I felt so at peace when I finished What Was Lost. I also felt compelled to read more of the Psalms. As embarrassing as this is to say, I wasn't intimidated by the simple act of reading the Psalms any longer.

Grab this book today and gift it to friends and loved ones. It is the kind of book that is life-changing. 

God bless you,
Patty Crawford
