“I am sitting here in a little shanty made of sugar pine shingles this Sabbath evening. I have not been at church a single time since leaving home. Yet this glorious valley [Yosemite] might well be called a church, for every lover of the great Creator who comes within the broad overwhelming influences of the place fails not to worship as he never did before. The glory of the Lord is upon all his works; it is written plainly upon all the fields of every clime, and upon every sky, but here in this place of surpassing glory the Lord has written in capitals.” (from The Life and Letters of John Muir by William Frederic Badé).
Muir’s words mirror Romans 1:20, which says God’s eternal power and divine nature show themselves in what He’s made. My Life Lessons in the National Parks books cover over 100 of the National Park Service’s 400+ sites, exploring how God’s attributes are found not only in the parks’ great scenery, but also in the people, stories, and histories of each site. The books also provide information about visiting these amazing places.

Here’s what people have said about the Life Lessons from the National Parks books:
Life Lessons from the National Parks fascinated me. Despite the obvious title, Life Lessons doesn’t fall into a neat category. Many may easily overlook the delightful, easy-to-read book. Musco gives the background to the various national parks, including interesting trivia, and spotlights one particular historical aspect. From that focus, she moves into a spiritual life lesson.
Cecil Murphey, co-author of Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story and 90 Minutes in Heaven
A deeply historical take on America’s great national parks. Penny brings a rich knowledge of their creation and formation, while reminding us of the Biblical lessons to be found in each. Every national park and historical site is a gift from God that we must steward well for the future, and this book helps us remember why.
Hope Ogle, A Christian Ministry in the National Parks
I love the way Penny Musco weaves Scripture and the eternal perspective of God’s plan into the stories she shares on the history of our national parks.
Patricia Bradley, USA Today bestselling and award-winning author of The Natchez Trace Park Rangers series
I loved the workable tips and unique insights presented by Penny Musco. This book, spiced with humor and encouragement, propels me to a greater appreciation of our national parks [and] a deeper relationship with the Creator.

A barren couple. A baby who needs a home. A husband adamantly opposed to adoption.
Infertility casts a shadow over Robert and Hannah’s marriage in 1891 New York. So does her newfound faith in Christ, a result of Dwight L. Moody’s evangelistic campaign. Their world is further rocked by their immigrant maid’s pregnancy, and by Jacob Riis’ shocking exposé on life in the city’s tenements.
The Christmas Child, an e-novella, intertwines the themes of childlessness and cultural differences in an exciting inspirational story.
“There are three things that are never satisfied, Yea, four things say not, It is enough: the grave; the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; And the fire that saith not, It is enough.”
(Proverbs 30:15-16)
