Description
Book Synopsis
A wildly determined Irish Catholic pursues Heaven's playbook to ensure she and her family evade the heat of Hades.
After many unanswered questions and ongoing frustrations with narrow-minded religious laws and leadership, she discovered God beyond the sacred walls of the church.
This is one person's unique adventure from Cradle Catholic to Spiritual Mystic. The most sacred moment was the evening she received a holy telegram from her father shortly after his death delivered by the coolest angel, actor Steve McQueen.
Review Quotes
"This book will captivate those on a faith journey of discovery. L.A. is an expert storyteller...her words are relatable, honest, and inviting. She opens the flood gates of humble curiosity and fierce love to reveal that God is found in everyday living just as much (if not more) as within the structures of religion. If you have ever felt separated from God...if you have ever felt reluctant about the Divine's care for you...if you have ever felt alone, this book is the gift of belonging, courage, and love you have been waiting for. Your laughter and sorrows are all welcomed by God." Krista Powers, MSW, Life Coach, Consultant, Author, Speaker
"L. A. is a Pilgrim, searching the meaning in the common things of life. She invites you to join in her quest, and over the hilltop to meet Someone who said, "Seek, and you will find."
The Reverend Dr. William H. Philips, B.A., B.D, MTh., PhD., Presbyterian Pastor, retired
"...it invites tears and laughs and reflection all at once. Lovely and loving, and inviting love." Brian Schircliff, M.S., Author, Co-Founder and Program Director Vitality Buzz, Bliss, + Books
"What a ride! Readers will celebrate with L. A. as she is propelled by an "inner gentle force" to look for God in the daily events of her life. Her stories testify that she is a modern-day Hero of the Faith, perhaps a relic in her own right." Lois G., B.A., M.A., Director of Lifelong Learning Institute, senior community resident
