Opis

"There's More to Life Than Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches" is a book that is focused on life-learned lessons that are rooted in Holy Scripture. It is for those who are at a crossroads, and who are on a search for a personal relationship with God. Their journey can be described as spiritual, and they are questioning the "how." Each chapter addresses the evolution of the faith journey as one contemplates how God speaks to our personal experiences through His word. The kernel of the book is how God gifted us with an inner voice we will experience as His guidance, in each moment we live. At the end of each chapter, the reader has an opportunity to delve in provocative questions that serve to excavate belief systems, and to encourage transparent dialogue. My book places strong emphasis on our humanity and on God's fidelity as we travel through faith's stages. Each lesson provides guidance to a place where the reader can recognize a familiar experience and identify with it. The lessons illustrate the commonality of the human experience, and the transcending power of God that enjoins our experiences to faith in Him. This book is for the seeker who feels beckoned to God's call. It is for the faithful who feels uncertain. The lessons emphasize the role of our inner voice and God's wisdom. This awareness anchors the launching pad for faith, and a new life where we experience gratitude in each moment. The book addresses the conditions many of us place on life, thereby rejecting any invitation to learn of God, through His word. It delves into the various scenarios where we are inclined to dismiss our inner voice, and instead pay attention to living outside of each moment. Each chapter ends with an invitation for the reader to unearth their own insights to the chapter's scriptural message. The book's intention is to invite them to begin to trust, by living in each moment. In doing so, they will learn to appreciate life, and God's fidelity.
