Encounter God: When Ordinary Moments Reveal Extraordinary Love

By Arlene Mancilla Cook

What if God is closer than you think-showing up in ways you may not have noticed? Through 31 personal and relatable stories that can be read as a devotional for personal and spiritual growth, this book will open your eyes to His presence in your everyday life-not in the lightning bolts you've been waiting for, but in the laughter that catches you off guard. The interrupted plan that turns into something better. The friend who listens without trying to fix you. The small worry He cares about because you care about it.

Discover what it means to move from striving to resting. From managing alone to partnering with a God who's intimately present in the mess and beauty of your life. Perhaps the invitation isn't to strive for more time, but to experience Him more deeply in the time you already have.

Written with vulnerability and warmth by Dr. Arlene Mancilla Cook, ordained minister and counselor, this Christian devotional and personal growth book for women includes reflection questions that gently surface what you didn't know was there-and awaken you to freedom, joy, and rest in ways you never expected.


Whether you're seeking spiritual healing, self-improvement, or simply a fresh encounter with God, this book meets you exactly where you are.

No religious jargon. No guilt. No pressure. Just the invitation to notice God where you least expect Him-and discover you've never been alone.
