MY DAD'S ITALIAN, MY MOTHER'S JEWISH, AND I'M IN THERAPY

Well, not really.
 The therapy part, that is. Although every time I finish writing a book I'm in a duel state of exhaustion and exhileration.  Good thing Dr. Jesus has open hours day and night.  I just finished writing the book, THE OTHER SIDE OF SUFFERING, which is the John Ramsey story.  (At least I hope it's finished.) You may recall the name John Ramsey.  He's the father of the little girl, JonBene't Ramsey who was murdered on Christmas Day, 1996.

John is a wonderful Christian and the book is his story of how he has dealt with the huge, huge losses in his life.  I spent a year on the book, what with the miles and miles of research I did in order to write it.  It was a painful journey following his life-- but praise God, I see even more clearly now how the Lord holds onto His beloved ones.  It will be published in 2012 by Hachette Publishers. 

We had a fabulous time of ministry in Chicago.  Were you there?  The meetings were wonderful.  I especially love my  all-day seminars wherever I am, in any town.  A whole day to teach and pray and see God move is absolute heaven.   We see miracles of every kind.  We are now putting together the recordings to make them available on my website.

I now begin writing a book called I.M.A.G.E. IS EVRYTHING with the amazing Miles McPherson who pastors the mega ROCK CHURCH  of over 10,000 young people in San Diego.  I'm telling you, fifteen minutes in the presence of this man and you feel like you've been ignited by matches from your belly button to your eyebrows.  I've never met anyone with more energy.  He's all fire, and the great thing is, his fire is all Jesus. 

Pray for me & know I'm praying for you.
His grateful servant, Marie
