Award Winning - “Reiser’s Ramblings” is a collection of daily weekly meditations devotions ~ daily reflections from the best columns written over the past three decades by Fr. Bernard Reiser, founding pastor of Epiphany Parish in Coon Rapids, Minn. In the book, find Fr. Reiser’s take on everyday topics such as family, kindness, gratitude, prayer, helping others, and staying focused on what’s important in life. Fr. Reiser’s essays are rich in symbolism, wise in understanding of human nature, and fruitful in explicating the word of God.

Fr. Reiser brings together a wonderful collection of “ramblings” that all of us can take home and take to heart. Father is a master in the art of spiritual storytelling; he engages, entertains, and challenges with undeniable hope. He has a gift and he shares it generously in this lovely book. Included are stories with the deep conviction that our human journey and our spiritual journey are intrinsically linked.

He shares observations that are sometimes so wondrously obvious and visible, and he does it in a way that feels like you’re hearing from a close friend.

"The columns are separated into six sections: Early Life and Key Influences; The Wonder of God's Creation; Our Place in God's World; Counting Our Blessings; God's Grace at Work Within Us; All Eyes on Heaven. Each column is titled and short. So we end up with reminiscences and a lovely book of short, easily read edifying stories and thoughts."

If you are one of those people who engages in daily devotionals, this book would be a lovely addition to that time in your day.

The Early Years
Father Reiser shares many of the happy recollections of his childhood in the first section of the book.

The Beauty Of Nature - Father Reiser is able to see God’s hand in all of nature. He does a beautiful job seeing God’s face in a flower in this passage;

“We need to stop and smell the flowers! To take them in hand individually and to open our eyes and hearts to the message they all share so powerfully, of the One who fashioned them so beautifully and lovingly.”

My Thoughts - I truly feel like I have experienced a Divine connection. “Reiser’s Ramblings” touched my mind, heart and soul in a way that I will not soon forget.

"…Father Reiser Writes With Passion, Conviction and Confidence… I would like to
invite you to join me on a spiritual journey that is inspiring, illuminating and heartening…
