Book Description
I was inspired to write Butterfly Blessings after the tragic loss of my sister, Cherie, who passed away from breast cancer in 2006. The book is directed at young children and is aimed to help them cope with death and dying. The story focuses on the special bond between two sisters who are separated first by great distance and finally through death. Despite this, their bond is very strong, transcending the physical and spiritual worlds. The magic of their relationship is captured beautifully by young Cape Town artist Jesse de Freitas. Jesse s illustrations are whimsical, colourful, and enchanting in their detail, and they bring Butterfly Blessings to life.

Pages : 256
Book Description
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Roma Downey—best known as the beloved angel on the TV show Touched by an Angel—“has created a beautiful and personal testimony to the presence of God in our lives and our world” (Most Reverend José H. Gomez, Archbishop of Los Angeles). Ever since she was a little girl, Roma has seen butterflies as a reminder of God’s presence. They have appeared to her in moments when she needed encouragement, reminding her that she is not alone. In this deeply personal book, Roma shares stories from her life, alongside quotes, poems, scripture, and artwork that she prays will uplift you as they have her. Reminiscent of the message of her popular television series, Touched by an Angel, this book’s central theme is that there is a God, He loves you, and that even in your most difficult moments, He is by your side. The subtle butterfly theme reminds us that the wonder of God’s love and kindness is sometimes reflected in the gentle whispers of His creation and that we all have the power to transform from simple caterpillars into exquisite butterflies. This inspirational book invites you to return to its pages again and again, as life brings new challenges, or you find yourself in need of new inspiration. Box of Butterflies “will touch you and move you and strengthen you” (Kathie Lee Gifford).

Languages : en
Pages : 93
Book Description
Hopeful Hearts and Butterfly Blessings By: Karen Thomas Wisdom In Hopeful Hearts and Butterfly Blessings, Karen shares her experiences with her first-born son, Brooks, who was born with a congenital heart defect. It’s a story of Brook’s eighteen-year struggle through the surgeries and post-surgical complications that eventually took his life. Her sole mission through those eighteen years was to ease his pain and discomfort and to make him feel loved and cared for. Because of her deep faith in God, He allowed her to see there are miracles even in the grimmest circumstances; that good can come from bad; and there is always light at the end of the tunnel. She shares ideas on what helped her to move forward on her grieving journey. Though Karen’s story doesn’t have the happy ending she so fervently prayed for, it is, nevertheless, a story of faith, hope and love. She tells her story so that it can provide support for others living with the same type of trials. Through our everyday pains and struggles, when our prayers aren’t getting answered in the way we think they should be, it is her hope that we can still see the many blessings that God is giving us. He is with us not just in our joys, but also in our sufferings.

Love Letters to God
Author: Lynn D. Morrissey
Publisher: Multnomah
ISBN: 0307564118
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 82
Book Description
Women yearn to share their experiences with the Lover of their souls in a way that is honest and simple, yet deeply satisfying. The key to this intimate self-expression is prayer-journaling. By pouring her heart out on paper to God, a woman can enjoy God's loving presence, explore her purpose and passion, appreciate life's beauty and answer its perplexities, experience spiritual transformation, and leave a permanent record of God's faithfulness in her life. Love Letters to God is a woman's invitation to take a personal pilgrimage through her own 'sacred writings' to the very heart of God. DISCOVER THE WAY TO GOD'S HEART Your holding an invitation in your hands—an invitation to take a personal pilgrimage through your own 'sacred writings' to the very heart of God. If you're intimidated by praying aloud or easily distracted during your devotional time, pouring your heart out on paper will give you the privacy and intimacy you need. Inspired by these beutifully written reflections, you'll find the most fullfilling way to enjoy God's loving presence, explore your purpose and passion, and leave a permanent record of His love and faithfulness in your life. Find freedom, healing, hope, and security as you share your deepest longings with the lover of your soul. Story Behind the Book Writing one’s prayers in a journal (unlike verbal or silent prayers) provides an actual safe place to grow spiritually and to enjoy and enhance a personal relationship with God. Verbal prayers are soon forgotten, but our "love letters to God" become a permanent place for exploring our hearts, a tangible testimony of God’s love and faithfulness in our lives, and a detailed document of our spiritual journeys. We can literally see the progression of changes in our lives as expressed on the "pages of our soul," our prayer journals, and we can see God’s answers to our prayers recorded there. Like the psalmists, many people have discovered that writing is the key to intimate self-expression, providing a deep, emotional catharsis that is often missing from their verbal or silent prayers.

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
Author: Jean-Dominique Bauby
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307454835
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
A triumphant memoir by the former editor-in-chief of French Elle that reveals an indomitable spirit and celebrates the liberating power of consciousness. In 1995, Jean-Dominique Bauby was the editor-in-chief of French Elle, the father of two young children, a 44-year-old man known and loved for his wit, his style, and his impassioned approach to life. By the end of the year he was also the victim of a rare kind of stroke to the brainstem. After 20 days in a coma, Bauby awoke into a body which had all but stopped working: only his left eye functioned, allowing him to see and, by blinking it, to make clear that his mind was unimpaired. Almost miraculously, he was soon able to express himself in the richest detail: dictating a word at a time, blinking to select each letter as the alphabet was recited to him slowly, over and over again. In the same way, he was able eventually to compose this extraordinary book. By turns wistful, mischievous, angry, and witty, Bauby bears witness to his determination to live as fully in his mind as he had been able to do in his body. He explains the joy, and deep sadness, of seeing his children and of hearing his aged father's voice on the phone. In magical sequences, he imagines traveling to other places and times and of lying next to the woman he loves. Fed only intravenously, he imagines preparing and tasting the full flavor of delectable dishes. Again and again he returns to an "inexhaustible reservoir of sensations," keeping in touch with himself and the life around him. Jean-Dominique Bauby died two days after the French publication of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. This book is a lasting testament to his life.
