The title of the book is perfect, "An Invitation to the
Supernatural Life". I expected to
like the book, but it was far more than I anticipated. Do you ever wonder if it might be possible to
connect more deeply with God? Do you
hunger for a more meaningful life? Do
you get frustrated when your daily demands pull you away from spiritual activates? Read
this book – it will give you a new perspective.
I was delighted to find that the book had both solid content
and engaging stories, and on top of that it is written beautifully. By the end of the first chapter I had
already laughed and cried and prayed. What more could you want in a book?
Michele seamlessly weaves together her personal story,
including both her encounters with God and her work with orphans in South Sudan. She is not naïve and sentimental about them,
rather she shares the astounding stories of their own faith, and the amazing
grace they extend to the very people who have traumatized them.
As she says herself, she is an unlikely candidate to be a
missionary in South Sudan. Yet the very things that make her journey
implausible are immensely encouraging and inspiring. I catch myself thinking, “well, if Michele
can do thus and such, surely I can do something beyond my own comfort zone and
current capabilities.”
I am torn between telling all my friends to buy the book
right away, or keeping it a lovely secret so I can buy everyone a copy for Christmas.
