Description

Meditations and poems for fellow seekers, trekkers, and wanderers, and those desperate for a glimpse, a moment, an encounter with the living God. 

A fellow traveler reflects on life lessons, steps of faith, and experiences through prose and poetry. Poems on faith and the glories of God’s creations are introduced by relevant vignettes about down-to-earth topics such as growing up in the inland Northwest, ranch families, fellow workers, open-hearted rural churches, elk hunting, log cabin building, huckleberry picking and bears, rural characters, and justice.  

These delightful, often humorous meditations on finding God in the everyday give us a taste of the outdoors, the wonder of creation, and the majesty of God in fresh, compelling language. 

A Litany of Praise is the first of a three-book series titled Throughline.  The second book, Seasons of Faith, should be released in the spring of 2025 followed by a third book, The Gifted, to follow in 2026-2027.  The idea for the series came from a verse, “Throughline,” in the third book The Gifted.

Jesus is the Throughline of Our Story

Chapter to Chapter, Book to Book…

Mitch Smith’s poetry in A Litany of Praise was a breath of fresh air. More than once, I put the book down to reflect on my own encounters with God in everyday life. Thank you, Mitch, for sharing your gift with us!
