Higher Places: A Compilation of Personal Experiences and Growth

By Pat D. Reagan

Higher Places began with The Tree Gift. The stories that followed were a way of recording each time I learned something spiritual. I began implementing that growth in my daily walk. Eventually I wanted to share my experiences through this book.

My mission in writing these stories is to touch hearts and help others have a greater spiritual awareness.
