On the Edge of Grace: Mystical Stories of True TransformationVariocity, 2004 - 224 sider ON THE EDGE OF GRACE: Mystical Stories of True Transformation Sometimes, as human beings, we find ourselves on the edge of grace. At that edge, an abyss falls away before us, and we are helpless not to tumble into it unless grace reaches out and saves us. We do not always know how we arrived at such a precarious point; but once there, we know we need healing, meaning, love, peace, hope and happiness. We know that we are seeking something to fulfill us and take away our angst and our sadness. What we do not know, is that we are seeking God. Each true life story in this book reveals a person who has teetered on the edge of grace, in seemingly hopeless situations, and discovered hope and healing in a loving God. The people-an atheist, a stripper, a car thief, a woman who had two abortions, a sex addict, a lonely youth, a woman who told God to go to hell, a woman who hears the voice of God, a priest, a man with the hidden stigmata, and a homosexual man abandoned by his mother-all possess, as diverse as they are, vital elements in common: they have truly found God, and they have received help in their journeys of faith through the Blessed Virgin Mary's presence and messages in Medjugorje. Each story, therefore, begins with a message that Mary has given to the world, a message which speaks to that person's life, and perhaps to our own. |
