Catherine is a blessing!!

While the world is full of people trying to tell us "how" to worship or "how" to seek God, Catherine's approach is one that merely shows an inherent goodness in the world and that God is merciful and kind. She doesnt profess to be a biblical scholar or preacher and that approach is refreshing. I read her column in my local newspaper every week and it is a welcome respite from the violence and diatribe of base human behavior that fills most of the newspapers pages. The world is full of clowns who think that they have been shown the way to God and that they have somehow cornered the market on holiness and understanding the will of God. The world we live in is full of people who think their way is the only way to salvation. Who are they to judge others? Catherine is none of that and her writings dont profess that either. Buy her book, enjoy her writing and her upbeat optimism!

A Message of Faith and Hope

What a godsend this book has become to me. Catherine Galasso-Vigorito is a most exceptional author and woman of faith. Her beautiful message of hope and encouragement leads me to a place of quiet reflection. She reminds me that God is with me always and this instills within me a sense of calmness and faithful assurance. My personal life has been filled with "what ifs" and "I wish I hadn't." Catherine reassures me that God does love and forgive all of us and reminds me that we should also follow His way. I assure you that if you read this book, you, like millions of others, will feel hope and peace in your life. Catherine writes, "Consider the words that are used when talking to our precious children. Criticism and putdowns, even when delivered ""in fun,"" can hurt feelings and stunt the growth of a healthy self-image. Words spoken in anger can deeply wound and have lasting effects. ""Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers."" Ephesians 4:29. If your words do not build up or encourage another, it is better to say nothing at all." This may sound simplistic but how many of us have said a thoughtless, unkind word to another, whether it be a stranger, a service rep, a co-worker, neighbor, our children or spouse...anyone who may pass our path at a moment of frustration. This beautiful book reminds us of God's loving kindness and gives us the positive direction we need in our lives. This book is broken into three sections: Mind, Body and Spirit. It speaks to me on all levels. It's word are beautiful and simple and I treasure it not only for it's inspirational advise but as a daily devotional.
