The publisher is putting out a media package for my book, so I sent out a few electronic copies, hoping for usable comments. I am so pleased with what came back.
Marian’s descriptive real-life stories, written with a delightful twist of wit, captivated me immediately. The author, as it were, welcomed me to be part of her family’s experiences, whether glad or sad, and I became a guest reluctant to ever leave. She invited me to walk with her on her personal pilgrimage. As I watched the children grow, I saw Marian grow from a woman who valiantly strove to “keep the rules,” to someone who gained a deeper understanding of what it means to be embraced by Grace and led by the Spirit. Her stories readily found a place in my heart, and their inherent lessons will continue to bless and challenge me for a long time to come. (How can I ever forget the ladder in the tulips, Mrs. Z, or the wedding dress?)

Marian communicates her progress as a pilgrim with a realistic down-to-earth look into her own heart as she shares real-life experiences we can all relate to. She employs a unique technique: just be yourself. Her honesty and authenticity are sure to help others on their spiritual journeys.

This book is a delightful smorgasbord for anyone who wants to reflect spiritually on the ordinary miracles of grace between God and humanity that serendipitously occur on a daily basis. Marian celebrates the agony and the ecstasy of being human with humor and honesty, while leaving the reader begging for more!
