God’s Joyful Surprise by Sue Monk Kidd – Discovering Spiritual Depth in Everyday Life (Used Paperback Edition)
 
God’s Joyful Surprise: Finding Yourself Loved is the spiritual memoir that first introduced Sue Monk Kidd—now widely known for The Secret Life of Bees—as a voice of contemplative Christianity. In this heartfelt and accessible book, Kidd shares her journey from surface-level religious routine to a deeper, more transformative experience of God’s love, presence, and grace.
Through honest personal stories, spiritual reflection, and a gently guiding tone, she invites readers to awaken to the hidden beauty and sacredness in the ordinary, to nurture a more authentic relationship with God, and to live with joyful spiritual freedom.
