MAITLAND, FL— Donalyn P. Knight’s new book, The Spirited Aviator, ($16.99, paperback, 9781498464543; $27.99, hardcover, 9781498464550) uses an airline travel theme to provide readers with inspiring words of encouragement. She offers a subtle reminder of God’s faithfulness and love that can uplift and encourage all Christians, even those that don't know Him on a personal level but may want seek Him and develop a personal relationship with Him. The inspiration for this book came as a result of Donalyn’s work at US Airways (formerly Piedmont and now American). Her love of flying, traveling, working with people and assisting with their travel needs was something she really enjoyed. The book is a reminder and testimony of God's faithfulness through the joys and trials of life. She cleverly mixes airline lingo with spiritual insight to allow readers to view the similarities between the travel world and Christian life. Throughout the book, she reminds readers that through the "ups and downs" of life, God loves everyone unconditionally and His Grace is sufficient in all things.  

I hope my book provides encouragement, inspiration and an abiding trust in knowing that God really does have our backs if we'll simply trust Him; not to beat ourselves up over things in the past,” states the author. “To know Him, love Him and be joyful in serving Him to get His message out there. He is continually molding us for His glory. He loves us THAT much! He never gives up on us and that alone should draw us to Him!
