Every Flower Fades

“Every Flower Fades is for every age. Since going on this healing and awakening journey with Gina Lake 5 years ago, my life has catapulted into the very simple joys of Presence, peace, and ever-present gratitude. This book is a must-read for every person, no matter what age they are! It will bring to you a very childlike way of embracing the ever-changing moment with acceptance, at times awe and wonder, and even joy amidst the recognition of the ongoing mental clatter. And even through what most would consider a very painful experience, such as a personal health crisis or the death of a loved one, these illuminate pages will help you find the gifts and tools of healing needed to navigate what is inevitable with Grace and trust in a benevolent universe. We are all truly, divinely cared for behind the scenes in life, and this book will help you realize the beauty that all things are in constant change and lit by love and divine light. Gina's works bring to life the sweetness within all things. This book will help you find the imminent Grace within these transient moments in life, helping you find peace, acceptance, and even a wide-eyed wonder of what is to come next.” –Kat

“In this book, I rediscovered the seamless flow of paragraphs that gently guide readers with boundless love towards an extraordinary path in life. What resonated deeply with me was Gina's ability to connect her insights with everyday life, particularly addressing those inner thoughts that tend to undermine our lives. She offers solutions so simple yet profound, allowing readers to (re)see and live the simplicity and the beauty of life. With every step and chapter, Gina's love and care for her readers shine through, touching your heart and aligning with your reality. I feel immense gratitude for the personal experiences Gina shares in this book, offering a glimpse into the journey that awakened her own heart and inspires others to do the same (and me also). Thank you, Gina, for being a part of my life through your wonderful books.” –Iolanda

“Every Flower Fades discusses the process of aging from a spiritual perspective. It challenges the reader to look at the process of aging from a positive perspective so that life can be enjoyed in its entirety without suffering. I especially enjoyed the chapter on injury, illness and death. Having a mother who is in the end stage of her life, this book explains some of the interesting visions she claims to experience and helps me see how her transition from independent living to assisted living to more intensive care has helped her to develop positive changes and to grow spiritually. The book also mentions how illness, pain and disability can lead to spiritual growth.
I also enjoyed reading how aging can lead to a decrease in egocentric ways and a greater appreciation of what life gives us in the present. I plan on buying a copy of this book for my daughter so that she understands me better. I highly recommend this book.” –Corgi Kid

Gina Lake offers a gentle yet powerful message: our worth is not tied to appearance or youth, but to the timeless love and presence that we truly are.

“I love Gina's writing, and the prayer opportunities she shares with her husband are truly beautiful. She has a gift for making complex ideas easier to understand, and she has done it again with Every Flower Fades. As I grow older, this book was exactly what I needed—it helped me recognize the inner voice that criticizes my aging body and showed me how to consciously turn away from that negativity, finding peace instead. If you're struggling emotionally with the realities of aging, I highly recommend this book. It’s a comforting and empowering guide to embracing this stage of life with grace and self-acceptance.” –Dee M.

“Gentle teaching for us all as we age. This is beautifully written book about aging and spiritual growth that is a lesson for us all as we all age. It has put into words what I already knew I needed to deal with. I love that I feel like Gina is talking to me like a friend going through the same things. A beautiful book from a beautiful spiritual teacher.” –K. H.

“I feel a loving inner ease as I drink in the knowledge of this beautiful and important book of how to best navigate the years that are left for me. Gina gives us a wonderful clarity about who we really are as spiritual beings beyond the mind of the ego and how we can accept and enjoy the gifts of every moment’s experience. She also supports us in how to tap into our own loving care for ourselves, such as how to navigate from our true heart, release worries and concerns, and thoughts of failure or disconnect. Gina also includes a beautiful and important understanding of the non-dual understanding of life and the importance of living every single moment without mental concepts running the show. Wonderful!” –Amazon Customer

“I have been reading Gina's books for decades, and I am entering the 4th quarter of this life. If you are new to Gina's work, this book will provide insights for spiritually peaceful living for the 4th quarter. If you are already familiar with Gina's work, this is a refreshing application of her insights.” –Greg F.

“I have been following Gina now for a couple of years. What she writes speaks the truth for anyone who is open to hear it. Isn't it about time we start looking at ourselves in a REAL way? It is inevitable that we age. Gina embraces the topic in a way that envelopes much more than simply getting old. How do we look at that? We are encouraged to look at our programming. It runs very deep. Why are we so obsessed with our appearance? What are we REALLY afraid of? This is SO helpful! THANK you, Gina!!” –Amazon Customer

“Every Flower Fades was an enlightening read. In Gina's latest book, she offers us an interesting perspective on aging that feels most current with the times we find ourselves in. Who are the parts of us really running the show, our false ego or our true divine selves? A must read for all those looking to grow and evolve, dissolving old programming and interpretations of the aging process up until this point. I pre-ordered the e-book and plan on ordering copies for friends and family. If you are looking to age gracefully, you will not be disappointed.” –Deb J. G.

“Well worthwhile read for fans of Gina Lake's work with Jesus the Christ. A read that is full of "a-ha" moments for the sincere seeker of self-knowledge.” –Amazon Customer

“Gina’s best book so far! I have been a fan of Gina's work for many years. Her latest is in her own voice and offers some rather important insights delivered gently. This book is a keeper and a good one to recommend for people you care about who are interested in seeing more significant possibilities.” –P. S.

“Learning from experience, including about ageing, will lead to wisdom and to inner peace and to an appreciation of the beauty of what is, in the present moment. As we learn that naturally changing externalities and superficialities are not worth stressing over, and as we learn to be centered in the present, to meditate, and to pray, we also learn acceptance and gratitude, so the process of ageing ceases to be a source of anxiety or concern. This book is easy to read and to understand but has psychological depth that will appeal to even a highly inquisitive and concept driven reader.”  –Terry C.

“Aging with acceptance and a sense of trust and peace. Reading this book has left me feeling more connected, alive, and at peace with this ever-changing body, which continues to serve me every single day as I experience life. Gina Lake's Every Flower Fades inspires and uplifts on every page.” –bacont

“This book is a great read, no religion, just solid wisdom. If you need a spiritual jolt (and serious reality check), that has the potential to guide you through realizing the best years of your life, then you cannot go wrong with this book. There are simply too many nuggets of wisdom to walk away from this book without having garnered several moments of genuine "aha/" The book gently addresses aging in the world today. She reminds us of the false value of physical beauty as a measure and that we are the only ones who are able to keep that damned glass half full! It's worth your time.” –Beth
