Welcome to my bookshelf — reflections, stories, and grace, written from the heart for my children and now shared with you.
New Release: The Quiet Work of Faith
Over the past several months, I have been quietly working on a new book that grew out of many of the reflections shared here on Rejoice and Praise.
I am grateful to share that The Quiet Work of Faith was released on September 26, 2026 and is available through Amazon.
This book is a collection of reflections on discovering God’s presence in the ordinary moments of daily life. It is about learning to recognize God’s quiet work through seasons of joy and sorrow, certainty and uncertainty, silence and prayer. Rather than seeking extraordinary experiences, it gently invites us to notice the grace that is already present in our daily lives.
Writing this book has been a journey of reflection, prayer, and discernment. Like many of my previous projects, it grew slowly — one thought, one conversation, one prayer, and one ordinary day at a time.
My hope is that these reflections will encourage you to pause, listen more deeply, and discover that even in life’s simplest moments, God continues to guide, strengthen, and quietly transform the human heart.
Thank you to everyone who has followed this journey through my blog, music, and books. Your encouragement and prayers have meant more than you know.
I can’t wait for you to read it.
Grace and peace,
Linda Lok
Coming December 17, 2026: Words Woven Through Creation
The thread was already there. I was simply learning to see it.
Beauty in creation. Grace in the ordinary. Light within darkness. And the presence of God woven through it all.
Words Woven Through Creation gathers poems, prayers, reflections, and lyrics from a journey of learning to notice what has quietly been there all along. Many of these pieces began as moments in nature — sitting still, watching light move across water, listening for what creation was trying to say — and grew into words of prayer and praise.
If The Quiet Work of Faith was about discovering God’s presence in the ordinary moments of daily life, this book follows the same thread further — into creation itself, where every leaf and ray of light has something to tell us about the One who made them.
Releasing December 17, 2026 — available on Amazon.
