ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich., Oct. 15 /Christian Newswire/ -- Affirming Faith has published its newest title, Quilting Patches of Life.

"Grab a box of tissues," author Lori Wagner advises. "This book will make you laugh and cry as you read the true stories of men and women from around the world." In Quilting Patches of Life, Wagner inspires readers to explore the connection of all the seasons and events of life – how the fragments of days and experiences are quilted by God into a lovely creation – a unique, functional work of warmth, beauty and purpose. The cheery days, the dark days, the boring beige days, Wagner believes God allows them all into our lives for a purpose.

"I was raised in a dysfunctional family and widowed at 32. I know about hard times," Wagner said, "but there is no doubt in my mind there is something to learn in every situation, and there is always hope when our faith is in God." Each chapter, comic or tear-jerking, contains a spiritual lesson and is titled with the name of a quilt pattern. The book includes interesting information about the craft of quilting and the history of many quilt patterns.
