Isaura Barrera 
Beloved’s Gift 
Following Soul’s Song into Love, Hope and Faith

Yet, one day, unexpected and unhoped for, the world we had thought irretrievably lost may be returned to us. In a moment of insighta sudden opening of the heartwe may glimpse again the mysterious reality we took for granted as children. We may once again experience its wonder and delight (I. Zalewski, Who Is God). This book tells of the authors unexpected return into that reality, believed to be irretrievably lost as childhood was left behind. It was written in real time as each step of that return unfolded its challenges and gifts. Its message of making believing more than making believe is shared for all who remember or hunger to remember and relive that same reality in their own lives that it might inspire them to listen for and live into the love, hope, and faith at its core.
