Everything the Cedar Kept - A Christian Audio Story - Faith, Identity & Romance

When kindergarten teacher Delia Vargas arrives in Taos, New Mexico to settle her late grandmother Rosa's estate, she finds more than quilts and keepsakes inside an old cedar chest. Hidden beneath decades of careful keeping are letters, a photograph, and a birth certificate bearing a name she has never seen — and a truth that will change everything she thought she knew about herself. As Delia searches for answers among the sun-baked adobe streets and high desert canyons of Taos, she begins to understand that knowing where you come from is not the same as knowing who you are. With the help of her faith community, her best friend Becca, her beloved father Tomás, and an unhurried pottery artist named Marcus Treadwell who has walked this road before — she slowly finds her way back to the God who knew her long before she knew herself. A story about identity, belonging, inherited faith, and the courage it takes to be fully known. ✦ Clean and appropriate for all ages ✦ Set in the beautiful high desert of Taos and Ranchos de Taos, New Mexico ✦ Approximately 2 hours 30 minutes Key scriptures woven through the story: Psalm 139:13–16 · Jeremiah 1:5 · Genesis 16:13 · Galatians 4:4–7 Ephesians 1:4–5 · Romans 8:15–17 · Isaiah 43:1 ───────────────────────────────── If this story moved you, please leave a comment, hit the like button, and subscribe so you never miss a new SimplyGraceAudio release.
