Underway: Reflections on Everyday Grace is Elise's second collection of humorous essaysthat celebrate the spiritual in the "everydays."Here are the further adventures of Elise, her husband and five kids, her church family and friends.There are stories about everything from skittish pet rabbits to disastrous holiday parties, from exchange students to Facebook, from fallen trees to raising teens (piercings, tattoos and all.) And, in each tale, there are glimpses of the God who loves us beyond comprehension, however much we stumble and mess things up. "Underway" is a nautical term meaning "in progress, out to sea." We are, each of us, underway, with our own daily adventures and unknown challenges ahead--but Elise reminds us that God's grace travels with us, always.
