God is in the Little Things: Messages from the Animals

By Patricia Brooks

Come view our world through a different lens; a lens that reveals our Oneness.
Patricia Brooks has had some unusual encounters with different animals. Some were scary, some were awe-inspiring, almost all of them were startling, and none of them were invited. At first, she thought these encounters were strange but ultimately random

Praise for Messages from the Animals

This is one of a number of wonderful books testifying to a profound shift in our appreciation and comprehension of what is often called the subtle realms. Part of the emerging Interspiritual Age, not to mention science’s new understandings of the vibratory reality, is human consciousness’ uptick in connection to the resonance in things both great and small. Wayne Teasdale, the founder of modern interspirituality, also called it intermysticism and books like these are also heralding a new inter-shamanism. It’s exciting.

Interspiritual Age and Nabokov’s Blues:

The Scientific Odyssey of a Literary Genius

With eloquence, Patricia Brooks does a wonderful job of sharing her personal story and reminding us of the connection we all have with the amazing animal kingdom. What a gift awaits us if we open our minds and spiritual hearts to understand the guidance that the array of animals we share this magnificent earth with have to offer. After reading this poignant, personal and passionate story, I dare say that you will never look at animals that cross your path in the same way again. Now let your journey begin.

Lynette Turner, Positivoligist™ and author of The 10 Be’s Of Positivity-10 Steps to a More Positive Way of Living

It takes courage to tell your story simply and honestly, to bare yourself so that others can benefit from the gifts that are born from your challenges. Patricia Brooks has done just this and the story of her unfolding is a luminous sign post for others, blinking bright messages in the dark of it’s okay, I’ve been there, you’re not alone, keep going.

We are in a time when rediscovering our connection to the natural world and the Earth is crucial if we are to find a new way of inhabiting this planet. Stories like God is in the Little Things are guiding indicators along the path as we make our way home, each one returning to herself, to his own truth, to the way of peace and harmony for and with all.

Thank you to Patricia Brooks for finding the courage to share her very personal journey of self-discovery with the rest of us. Often, people will make the learned mistake that everything is separate and disconnected. Her story of finding your special connections with people, winged ones, four legged ones and hopping people, is an inspiration and a testament to the Law of Spirit which tells us that we are indeed inter-related and that we live in a universe of relationship and reciprocity... a place where the physical and the sacred realms, are all shared by us together, here in the Eternal Circle on our Sacred Beloved Mother Earth.

Patricia Brooks has a style of writing that beautifully conveys the layers of emotions back dropped by the beauty of nature and its message. The courage with which she puts it out there blazes a trail for many of us.

Kathy Clingman, Thai Therapist, 200 RYT, CRYT, Teacher, Healer, and Spiritual Servant

This book gave me chills, as it is a beautiful reminder of how there are signs of the Divine everywhere we choose to look. Patricia takes you on a beautiful journey into the significance of the animal totems and the messages they offer to us. It offers a deeper meaning into what could otherwise appear as just everyday life events. It gave me great joy and a sense of peace, as I’m sure it will do the same for everyone who picks up this little treasure… because God is in the little things.

Susan Kullman, Certified Spiritual Life Coach

Believers see God or Spirit as an ever present force in their lives. This book puts a new spin on ways in which God can speak to us by showing Himself through appearances of animals. Next time I see my favorite animal, I will remember the message of its symbolism as a reminder of God’s presence in my life.

Ann McDonnell, President EcoGenics

I was moved, touched and had a great time reading about Patricia Brooks’ spiritual journey. The treasure chest of personal stories brought wisdom, compassion, and insight to the experiences that so many of us are familiar with and have endured over time. Patricia has shown how our relationship with our two and four legged friends is not only physical but mystical as well. She has shown us how these creatures communicate with us and offer us guidance and support if we are aware, conscious and open to it. They are our companions, friends and teachers for life.

Tracy Mignone, Principal, Kindred Spirits

Pearls of truth, honesty, and wisdom are shared by Patricia Brooks in her beautiful and revealing story of how God plans, reveals, and communicates when we listen! Her ability to expose her vulnerability speaks to everyone’s heart, as we are all having our human experience and learning to love and accept ourselves. When we realize we really are all one and connected, it opens the door to freedom. I am honored to be asked to read this gem. It opened my heart and reminded me over and over of what I need to remember.
