GOD?S RAINBOW AND MY DREAM IBD

Sinopsi

'God?s Rainbow and My Dream is truly a remarkable journey of heart and soul in discovery of the treasures in life. Because I know the author personally, it touches me more, and because it is all real, the profundity of life makes sense as the Spirit of God weaves events, people, and gifts in and out to make a beautiful tapestry. Mary Juarez touches a spiritual nerve and excites one to faith through her own perceptions and feelings of people in her community and the God who loves her. Poetry narrative, and the sacred scripture run together to make a whole of what could be parts. Hurt, despair, and grief mix with healing, love, and peace to encourage the reader to go on to find the next lesson buried in life which makes us understand who we are as human beings and why we are here, and especially why we are here together. A sense of community grows as more people who come into the circle of her life, are touched, and therefore ripple out to touch others. A warm feeling comes from reading about these real, down-to-earth people. Nothing fake and no pretense enter in. Ego is left at the door when Mary describes unashamedly her reactions and responses to the good and bad that comes her way. One might call this book a slice of life perhaps, for indeed it is not a full blown autobiography, yet indeed the peeks and valleys are both touched throughout it, and one comes away thinking there is a plan to it all. It is not a difficult plan to perceive, it just requires 'faith' to unroll the plan each day as it comes about. This book can open simple doors for the reader if you let it. It can touch the heart of the matter, this life and how we live it. It is not about a God out there, but a God down here mixing with us and living with us. It reveals a consciousness of faith, an attitude about beginnings and endings, and a forever looking forward with eyes of faith. Somehow reading this book can help one to believe that there are no ending, only new beginnings. It has a true faith and a good love. It helps one walk forward without fear. This book of faith helps one not walking quietly into the night, but rather to walk quietly into the light.
