Everyday Grace

Everyday Grace Series - Book 1 Miles of Good: Stories of Hope and the Heart gathers 50 bite-sized tales of ordinary people doing quietly extraordinary things. A snowplow driver carves a path for a stranded ambulance. A barista and a trucker turn a blackout into a soup line. A class's postcards help a beloved teacher find her words again. Set in diners, depots, gyms, and front porches, each story moves from a simple problem to a small act of grace-and lands on a humble image that lingers: a porch light, a blue chalk line, a bench with a brass plaque. Written in warm, plain-spoken Americana with crisp scenes and strong sensory detail, this collection restores faith without sugarcoating life. Perfect for nightly wind-downs, road trips, and sharing aloud, it's for fans of the book series "Chicken Soup for the Soul" and the CBS News segment "On the Road with Steve Hartman," offering earned uplift one mile at a time.

Everyday Grace Series - Book 2 Porchlight Promises: Stories of Kindness gathers 50 small, stand-alone narratives where ordinary neighbors do quietly extraordinary things. In church basements, ferry cafés, feed stores, gyms, and front porches, each tale follows a simple arc-need, obstacle, action, grace-then closes on a tangible image that lingers: a porch light flicked on at midday, a ribbon retied around old letters, a bench warmed by two hands. The voice is warm, cinematic, and plain-spoken, rich with sensory detail and everyday dialogue; the conflicts are weather, timing, and pride-not villains. From a janitor hand-scrubbing game-line shine to a mechanic sacrificing parts so kids can go, these stories honor competence, humility, and the communal instinct to show up. Perfect for nightly wind-downs, road trips, and reading aloud, this second Everyday Grace volume restores faith without sugarcoating life. It's for fans of the book series "Chicken Soup for the Soul" and the CBS News segment "On the Road with Steve Hartman," offering earned uplift in bite-sized pages.
