I was delighted when Cathy asked me to write the foreword for her newest Pauses devotional. For me, Cathy has always been a spiritual giant. Her foundational insight and application of the Word bring light to the dark places in our lives. Yet she shares God’s truth with gentle joy. I can understand why people flock to sit under her teaching—me included. Now I get to share her with you.
Pauses for the Vacationing Soul: A Sensory Based Devotional Guide for the Mountains strikes a chord deep within my soul. I love vacationing in different locales, but the mountains are where I flee for solace when the world presses in. Just like Cathy, I’m never without my journal and my camera as I try to capture the peaceful essence of God’s creation and bring it home with me.
Through this book, Cathy weaves a meditative journey that will enhance anyone’s trip. Her introduction of God’s Word brings the majesty of His mountains to life through a biblical perspective. Her insight on how to apply the verses she shares is life changing. But what I like best are her observations of who God is.
Each day, this devotional leads us to ponder one of God’s attributes in the context of His mountains. Along with prayers and gentle suggestions of things to do to enhance your intimacy with God and His creation, she weaves her own stories and personal observations.
This gem of a book is one that will become dog-eared with loving use. I know I’ll never again travel up the mountain without it by my side.

A new resource for your vacation toolbox! Author Cathy Baker has given us an invaluable gift with this small book as she provides a guided devotional with travelers in mind. Her gentle wisdom and encouragement will help us all slow down and enjoy the moment while always aware of the One who created the beauty around us.

This author has a fresh, vibrant, and growing relationship with God and it shines in her writing. I am drawn to her almost magical use of language as she encourages readers to step into deeper waters with Christ by using the senses. I loved the beach version of Pauses for the Vacationing Soul and was thrilled to see this edition. Ms. Baker’s journey into her majestic mountains will leave you breathless and reaching for the heart of God. A great resource for personal quiet time or to share with family.
Cathy Baker invites us to hop into the back seat of her imaginary Buick and go along with her on a vacation to the mountains where she opens our eyes and ears not only to the sound of wind in the pines, but to the spirit of God on the breeze. Pauses for the Vacationing Soul is a lovely devotional, rich with imagery and gentle reminders of both the creation and the Creator.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe it's a story, a blog, a song, a ministry, or simply a more productive way to accomplish a task in the office or at home.
