Praise for Phaino
“People need what Phaino has to offer — sacred texts refined into accessible nuggets of truth. Each entry creates space to grasp how the Light in us shapes our reality. Practicing Phaino’s simple ways of noticing the Light reorients us to the source. Through these writings, hope meets us in ordinary language in an extraordinary way. J. L. Wright has discovered a refreshing new approach to the daily devotional.”
— Rev. Dr. Byron W. Arledge, LPC
Something is happening you cannot see. Something shifts each time you turn toward the light. Even when the circumstances look the same, you are becoming different. The relationship is forming.
— from Phaino
