Trusting the Inscrutable Ways of Providence: George Washington's Spiritual Path to Joy examines the spiritual life and formation of George Washington. Even though the world recognizes George Washington's vision, achievements and indisputable contribution to the Great Experiment of democracy, this book addresses his struggles and losses as well. It examines how his faith was formed in the midst of them. These chapters trace his very human, lifelong process of spiritual formation, much of which occurred in the context of a tolerant, moderate Anglican (Church of England) ethos and theology. Washington's faith evolved over time, from a simple yet grounded childhood faith, to maturation -- through the struggles of young adulthood, the losses of middle age, and the joys and regrets of old age. Through every stage and each life experience, Washington was gradually transformed into a genuine wisdom figure grounded in a mature and abiding faith and known for his integrity of life.

In the 17th century, he proposed legislation to legalize Protestantism in Maryland. Through this ancestor she became a Colonial Dame of the Washington DC Chapter.She and her husband Tom live in a mountain home in Jasper Highlands, Tennessee.

She continues to write; provide spiritual direction; and celebrate, preach, and counsel where called.Ronaldi earned her MDiv from St. Mary's Seminary in Houston in 2013. In 2016, she earned a Doctor of Ministry (DMin) from the Sewanee School of Theology. Her doctoral thesis Towards a Spiritual Formation Model of Clinical Pastoral Education created a new approach to clinical pastoral education (CPE), by integrating Benedictine spirituality into the CPE model.
