Books that invite us to know the Father

Welcome to this introduction to the books of Returning to the Ancient Path Ministry, by Mary Small-Burke. These writings invite us to know the Father through Yeshua, examine the way we walk, and discover our place in His covenant family. Let us explore the opening collection and the books taking shape beyond it.

The launch collection

Waiting Is Not Wasting

What does faithfulness look like when the answer has not yet come? Waiting Is Not Wasting offers twenty-one devotional readings on trust, disappointment, responsibility, rest, and enduring hope through Yeshua. It accompanies the reader through delay without making waiting an excuse to abandon the work of today. The Kindle edition is four dollars and ninety-nine cents, and the paperback is nine dollars and ninety-nine cents. Both editions are now available on Amazon. Use the Kindle or paperback purchase links below the tour.

The One Who Says Come

For a reader carrying deep wounds, The One Who Says Come offers an invitation to approach the Father honestly. Through Scripture, lament, and the witness of Yeshua, it considers trust, justice, forgiveness, and rest while preserving truth, boundaries, and accountability. It does not demand that pain be hidden. The Kindle edition is four dollars and ninety-nine cents. The paperback is twelve dollars and ninety-nine cents. Both editions are now available on Amazon. Use the Kindle or paperback purchase links below the tour.

The Path That Leads to Total Surrender

The memoir shares Mary Small-Burke’s personal journey of faith, family responsibilities and surrender. The Father’s Covenant Heart follows the wider biblical story of redemption and the Father’s covenant family. These two volumes are available in hardcover.

The Path That Leads to Total Surrender

The first book is Mary Small-Burke’s spiritual memoir. It traces faith, family responsibilities, relationships, difficult choices, and seasons of waiting. Through the particular circumstances of one life, readers are invited to recognise the Father’s patient pursuit and the long work of learning surrender. The hardcover is now available on Amazon for twenty-one dollars and ninety-nine cents. Use the purchase link below the tour.

The Father’s Covenant Heart

The Father’s Covenant Heart follows creation, covenant, redemption, and the Father’s desire to dwell with His family. From Eden through Israel and Messiah toward the New Jerusalem, it invites careful readers to recognise one faithful purpose unfolding across Scripture. This is Book Three of the trilogy. The hardcover is now available on Amazon for twenty-one dollars and ninety-nine cents. Use the purchase link below the tour.
