Morning Walks with God

MARLENE BURLING has taken simple everyday experiences,

objects, and Bible stories and written spiritual applications for

daily encouragement. The Lord has helped her to see Him

even in the smallest details of life as she walks with Him

throughout the day. God has used these spiritual lessons in

her life as part of the healing in her own grieving process after

the loss of her husband, James Autry. They were married

for fifty-one years. Her husband was a pastor for thirty-five

years, and she faithfully served the Lord by his side in the

four churches where God called them to serve. She has three

married children, ten grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

"Morning Walks with God is more than just another devotional. It is the heartbeat

of a woman with an authentic walk with God. Marlene Burling does not just go

through the routine of having devotions, but lives out the valuable truths that she

discovers in her daily time with the Lord and that are contained in this collection.

She is a true blessing to the women in our church, and I know she will be an

encouragement to those who embrace this journey of spiritual growth with her."

"Within these pages, you will fi nd encouragement that is personal, practical,

and powerful. From her many years as a wife, mother, and pastor's wife,

Marlene has gained much wisdom and personal experience. This book is going

to be a great tool to help you to grow in your own personal spiritual life."

"This book is unique, as these devotions are practical and related to everyday

experiences and will make the reader stop and think about how this reflects in

their everyday walk with God."
