You never know where God might show up.

In this collection of personal essays, you’ll read about him showing up in a nursing home during a Christmas caroling excursion, in a bowling alley during a rock concert, in the contents of a family Bible, in a restaurant as two elderly people seek the company of strangers, and so much more.

If you enjoyed author Lee Warren’s book of coffee shop essays, “Common Grounds: Contemplations, Confessions, and (Unexpected) Connections from the Coffee Shop,” and the follow-up, “Sacred Grounds: First Loves, First Experiences, and First Favorites,” then you’ll love this third dose of introspection that will remind you to always be on the lookout for God.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Lee Warren writes contemplative essay and devotional books, as well as inspirational Christmas novellas.

His essays remind you to slow down and enjoy the present moment because we’re only here for a little while. Readers say his essays are vulnerable, open, honest, engaging, insightful and thought-provoking.

His devotional books provide practical, story-driven devotional material you can use every morning to get your private worship started right. Readers call his devotional books encouraging, inspiring and thoughtful.

His inspirational Christmas novellas will remind you of Christmases past when your grandmother pulled piping hot cookies out of the oven and everyone gathered around the living room to open gifts and maybe sing a few carols. They'll also remind you that God sometimes chooses to step into the here and now by sending heavenly beings to encourage and challenge us.

When Lee isn’t writing essays, devotional material, or Christmas novellas, he is a freelance journalist who has written hundreds of articles for various newspapers and magazines. He’s also a fan of NASCAR, baseball, tennis, books, movies and coffee shops.

    This is the third in the "Grounds" series, and it's my favorite. The first book, Common Grounds, felt like taking a peek at a friend's diary. The second book, Sacred Grounds, drew me in at deeper lever. While reading Higher Grounds, I felt as though the author had thrown open the doors and welcomed me into his life with open arms. The book is funny, insightful, and tugged at my heartstrings.
    The stories range from hilarity to heartfelt, like the one about the church group caroling in a nursing home, setting off alarms in locked-down areas, and competing with Victoria Secret commercials. At first. Their time transitioned to holy, as residents opened their doors and gathered together in a beautiful chorus. I could hear the Christmas hymns lifted to heaven. bringing comfort and memories of childhood days.
    I especially enjoyed reading about the author's long-haired, heavy-metal days. And "meeting" God in a bowling alley. And his Elvis-listening grandma (who planned her own funeral).
    This is a beautiful book, giving honest insight into the author's life and faith, and if we allow it, into ours as well.

    Another great book from Lee Warren. Warren knows how to tell a story, and he knows how to do so in a way that keep you interested and turning pages. Higher Grounds is a book full of stories about God stepping into our everyday life. It's one of those books that I had to read a chapter at a time and then set aside to process what I had just read before picking it up for more. Loved it!

    Lee Warren tells honest, observant, poignant stories about the ordinary, but thinking about them in a deeper way. They cause the reader to pause, to slow down, to contemplate what is most important in his or her own life. Where do you find your identity? What might be your own touchstones? And how generations are connected by the choices of the previous generation.

    This is the third in the series called "Finding Common Ground." I've savored my way through all three.
