“Magpies Gifts has a long and rich relationship with Ann Younger beginning back when she made beautifully embellished grapevine crosses that were a top seller in the store.  Through the years, she has evolved as an artist and has focused more on her biblically inspired paintings.  We have had several pop up shows highlighting her art and then most recently we showcased her gorgeous new devotional, “Reflecting in His presence.” 

“Ann’s work is truly exceptional and realizing that every stroke of her brush on the canvas is divinely inspired, makes every piece of her art a true master piece!  What a gift to be able to bundle so many pieces of her collection into one book!  “Reflecting in His presence” is a lovely gift for anyone seeking beauty, and calm in their daily life.” — Megan Farrar Beauchamp, Part owner, Magpies Gifts, Houston, Texas

“Younger’s book is an invitation to Selah, sit and reflect on perfection and beauty—of God’s stories in the written Word and Ann’s 52 God-inspired original pieces of art. You will be brought into God’s presence as you reflect on each piece. This book is a win, win scripture + art! I am so excited to spend more times of Selah reflecting on God’s goodness with this book in my lap.” — Sara Thurman, Artist and Author of Small Beginnings: A Journey to the Impossible

“There are many rooms in our home that include Ann’s artwork. Each piece is treasured but this book may be the most precious of all. As you read and contemplate Ann’s words and inspired paintings you will experience the outpouring of God’s deep love for you. It cannot be escaped. The beauty and truth offered in each devotional passage brings encouragement and hope. And I am certain, as you turn each page you will find peace and joy in His Presence just as I have done.” — Gail Armatys, Christian Life Coach and Author of Your HeartSong Journey

“Ann has been a dear friend to me and my family. What I have always appreciated about Ann is her willingness to spend unhurried time with the Lord and His Word, and how she constantly seasons her conversations with His truth. Ann is the kind of person who you can tell listens to and lives by the Spirit. I appreciate how she has used her gifts to serve the local church and her community, and this book is a continuation of that. Reflecting in His Presence marries together her passions for the Lord and for art, inviting readers to meditate on HIs truth and goodness and beauty. Praying that the Lord uses the book as an encouragement to many folks! — Zach Barnhart, Pastor at Fountain City Church, Staff Writer at Gospel-Centered Discipleship
