Making a Pearl from the Grit of Life

Book excerpt: "The book allows us to follow Sharon Rainey on a very private path of early trauma. It leads us through depths of the human spirit - depths we come to recognize as very much like our own - and, through hard-won lessons, emerge onto a higher place of inner strength and happiness. Along the way we learn,..., how to take the inner steps that lead to peace, contentment, and successful living. We learn how: to see life from a new, higher perspective; live in the solution instead of the problem; practice compassion for people who err...; hold on in hope,...; allow laughter to lift our spirit; connect to a "community of spirit," with a life rich in deeper friendships; trust in a power greater than ourselves; center ourselves in meditation and prayer stay rooted in the everyday joys of home life."~back cover.
