Dewdrops on Spiderwebs · Connections Made Visible

An encounter with a homeless man leaves the image of his face permanently inscribed on Susan Classen's heart. Saying good-bye to a close friend challenges her to reflect on the relationship between joy and pain. A child's delight at finding a green leaf invites her to celebrate beauty.Familiar with war, death, and poverty, Classen looks for the hints of beauty that draw us through the struggle toward God's hopes and dreams for humankind. Her search for God in shopping malls and nature, in pain and beauty, in friends and strangers invites others to enter more deeply into their own unique experience of God in daily life.
