Like so many people today, our lives are inundated with family, community, and work-related activities that seem to deprive us of our time with God in his Word. To awaken each morning to a precious few minutes of silence, devotional reading, and prayer may be the only spiritual food some get to sustain them through their busy day. But what if you could take the devotional thought with you as a part of your day throughout the week? What would it mean to have a conversation with someone who may well be an unconscious instrument used by God to unveil some truth from your weekly reading, as a reality and faith lesson in your life?”  (quote from the cover of Lifting the Veil).

In his recently released book entitled Lifting the Veil: Uncovering God’s Truths for Our Lives Today, author Paul Gasque, a former United Methodist minister, offers readers a unique opportunity to gain insight into the ways in which God weaves together Scripture, people, and prayer to shape one’s life spiritually and to draw the reader into deeper fellowship with God in Jesus Christ. Through weekly devotional readings and reflection, the reader is challenged to consider the importance of human relationships in one’s spiritual formation.
“I certainly had no intentions of ever writing a book,” Gasque said. “Lifting the Veil evolved out of my continuous study of God’s Word following my stepping down from pastoral ministry in June of 2012. The irony of it all is that here I was writing a book about human relationships in spiritual formation and yet all the writings were done in solitude. The process itself awakened me to the realization of how much I need such relationships in my own life.” Strongly encouraged by his wife Laura to record his thoughts on Scripture, Gasque found the writing spiritually enriching and the publication process both enlightening and challenging.
Paul and his wife Laura, a retired elementary school teacher, currently reside in Latta where they are active members of Latta United Methodist Church.
