Here are Sycamore Cove’s books by Cynthia Coe:
Knit with love, Prayer Shawls are handmade pieces of knitting that show someone you care. A Prayer Shawl wraps a person in prayer and love, just like a warm, fuzzy blanket. Each story in The Prayer Shawl Chronicles is a fictional tale of someone who finds herself in need of healing – and that quest for healing ultimately helps someone else heal as well. Unexpected gifts appear, seemingly out of nowhere. Unlikely connections are made, sometimes across cultures and even continents, sometimes between people who might never imagine themselves connected in any way. By the end of the book, all the stories connect and loop around each other, just like the yarn of a knitted prayer shawl.
The Knitting Guild of All Saints
Book Two of The Prayer Shawl Chronicles series. The prayer shawl ministry of All Saints Church goes out into the world, and characters find themselves in new and unexpected places and situations. New characters appear as well! Available in paperback, e-book, and included in Kindle Unlimited at this link.
Considering Birds & Lilies: Finding Peace & Harmony With the Everyday World Around Us
CONSIDERING BIRDS & LILIES explores the deep connection between time in nature and the Christian faith. In this thoughtful book, Cynthia Coe takes the reader through a number of expressions and examples of spirituality in nature in both the Old and New Testaments, along with nature-based practices of spirituality by Jesus and by early Christians. Topics include the role of wilderness in preparation for leadership and for new mission, the use of nature by Jesus to teach important concepts of spirituality, and the practice of faith outdoors, in the garden, and even in our own backyards. The author offers an introduction to a number of nature-based practices of spirituality, along with a series of Garden Meditations for individual use.

Alone in a rapidly changing Europe, Ginger runs into unexpected enemies and unexpected kindness from strangers along the way. As she retreats once more to Moscow, she faces choices between living a simpler but rich life…or more stressful years trying to achieve the American Dream set down by the previous generation.
