In her memoir, God and Green Tea, Canadian minister and former nurse Marilyn-Ann Elphick shares spiritual practices that have helped her flourish in the face of challenges throughout her life.

With its strong focus on religious themes, this book will appeal to readers who are on a spiritual path of their own, whether Christian or of another religious affiliation. In addition, readers with care-oriented occupations, such as nurses, ministers, social workers, teachers, and parents, will find inspiration in this work.
