Suzanne shares, “I never considered writing a book, but God graciously had just that in mind. In a period of six months, God brought to my attention the following stories of events or coincidences that are not mere examples of God’s intervention or guidance but powerful demonstrations of His transformative love and light in the lives of contributors to this book, Embraced by God’s Love and Light.

“We are not alone in this spiritual pilgrimage.  As believers in Christ, the second person of the Godhead or the Trinity, we know who we are.  We are children of God, as are all true believers. (1 John 3: 1-19, ESV). We believe that Jesus came to give us life and that eternal life is not just something we get when we die.  We are alive in Christ right now. Christ followers also believe that Jesus came to undo the work of an evil force, the devil. (1 John 3:8, NIV). In our shared journey, we have discovered the reality of God’s presence in our lives and the reality of that evil force called Satan or the devil, who is also present in our world.  Learning to live as a child of God and standing against the power of darkness are the foundations of this book, which is filled with stories of how God’s presence guides us.  There is, however, only one book that should serve as the foundation for our faith and our daily walk — The Bible.  If this book, Embraced by God’s Love and Light, can enhance that process and keep us more connected to Christ and our love of neighbours, I will be thrilled, and God will be thanked and praised.

“This book is not a solitary endeavour. I am deeply grateful to all those who have shared their ‘God stories’.  Many contributions have been a source of encouragement for me and, I hope, for you. May you be enriched by their submissions of personal encounters with God and may He be glorified because of it.”
