“Kaitlin B. Curtice is a young, Native American Christian mystic who portrays the sacredness of the human condition in everyday language through her writing. Her use of poetic prayers and stories in Glory Happening inspires us to find the divine in every aspect of life, and gifts us with the opportunity to embrace and mirror the gracious reality of God and glory in our midst.”

–Fr. Richard Rohr, Founder, Center for Action and Contemplation, Author, THE NAKED NOW and FALLING UPWARD

Kaitlin Curtice has an amazing gift. She looks at life’s moments– large, small, and in between– and she finds the God in them. Moreover, she has a beautiful way with words; she can make us see the God in every moment, too. I love her voice, I love the huge heart that drives it, and I can’t wait to hear more from this bright light.

“Kaitlin B. Curtice prayed, ‘Teach me the art of tethering.’ Her answered prayer is an unfolding of glory – sights and sounds witnessed in words and phrases spare and plain daring us to take delight in life again.”

— John Blase, Poet & Author, THE JUBILEE

“Kaitlin B. Curtice was born with a set of eyes that see beyond the ordinary. She sees beauty and holiness in mess, mayhem, and monotonous routine. She sees miracles in darkness. She sees hope in human heartache and promise in dead ends. Then Kaitlin takes to paper, and that is where the divine appears. Her words change us, lift us, inspire us, transform us, heal us. I’m certain Kaitlin was born to advocate, bringing world-changing awareness where light is limited. Kaitlin is the light of hope our world desperately needs now.”

–Rachel Macy Stafford, New York Times bestselling Author, HANDS FREE MAMA and ONLY LOVE TODAY 

“Kaitlin B. Curtice writes with a deep, sweet, reflectiveness about the odd places she encounters ‘glory,’ that is, Jesus. This first book by an exciting young Christian mystic is a must-read. Kaitlin helps us look for Jesus again, and helps us meet him in some surprising places. Strongly recommended!”

“Kaitlin B. Curtice is the kind of writer whose words carry you to spacious places where you can breathe again. When I read Glory Happening, I was in a frantic season of my life, hurried and harried and kind of lost. With each of Kaitlin’s stories and prayers, I was gently invited back to a place of rest and grace. If you can stand it, please sip this book. It’s too delicious to drink all in one gulp.”
