On Kitten Creek

Enter the adventure of unwrapping gifts from the God who loves to inhabit our space: the gift of community, the gift of sorrows and celebrations; the gift of land and buildings; even the gift of animals that fill our lives.

When the Swihart family left a comfortable, thriving ministry in Southern California and transplanted their young family to a dilapidated, old farm in Kansas, life there didn’t turn out exactly as they had envisioned. But in that ordinary world they experienced glimpses of an extraordinary Artist painting His pictures and writing His story. The Lord brought together an extended community known as Wellspring, inspired unusual and creative use of the land for His glory, and transformed lives through His loving presence. In the process, the Swiharts found deep connections between mind, spirit, emotions, and body through which God brings the sacred into the mundane.

In this book you will find: 1)Encouragement to look in everyday life for the sacred that is always there; 2) An example of an authentic, loving, effective community of believers; 3)Insights into how God’s creatures, the animals, can enrich our lives.
