One Hundred Birds Taught Me to Fly is the latest book in the Maxwell Institute’s Living Faith series. In this episode, author Ashley Mae Hoiland joins Blair Hodges, co-editor of the series, to talk about the revelatory nature of writing.

The book is for restless souls who desire to know God more deeply. Hoiland bids the reader to follow her down the hallowed and well-trodden path between the heart and mind, where glimpses of godliness are discovered in rainstorms, bus rides, temples, and mountains. As a Latter-day Saint, she explores the complexities of faith in everyday life where laughter and creativity matter as much as faith, hope, and charity.
