This review is from: Epiphany: True Stories of Sudden Insight to Inspire, Encourage, and Transform (Hardcover)
I am really surprise there is no review for this book. It is a beautiful genuine heartfelt book which is an epiphany in itself. For those who have found the light or who are looking for light, it is well worth a read. There is a high probability you will find a personal connection to yourself in each of the stories told. It is incredibly powerful and certainly worth every second reading the book.

Buy it for yourself and everyone you love!,

This review is from: Epiphany: True Stories of Sudden Insight to Inspire, Encourage, and Transform (Hardcover)
Epiphanies...we have all had them but how many of us actually recall them or recognize them at the time as that "a ha" moment? Elise Ballard has interviewed people, famous and next door, to find out theirs and put them together in this incredible collection. I haven't even finished the book yet and already I have laughed and cried. Anything which can pull at my heartstrings is a success. Don't miss the video interviews on the website, too: www.epiphanychannel.com

Intriguing and Inspiring,
By John Zmirak "John Zmirak, author, 'The Bad Ca... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Epiphany: True Stories of Sudden Insight to Inspire, Encourage, and Transform (Hardcover)
This book offers something for nearly everyone. Ballard compiles epiphanies that range through all spheres of life and across all sectors of society. There are a number of famous people, especially those in the entertainment industry, which Ballard chose not because she's starstruck but because that's the world she knows. She's a film-maker based in Los Angeles. The industry people whose life-changing epiphanies she chronicles are interesting, but I was more struck by the heart-wrenching tales of people who faced life-threatening illness, disfiguring disease, the death of a child, or the collapse of lifelong dreams...and who were suddenly gifted with the insight to SEE A WAY OUT of their troubles, or find a more creative way to endure them. For me, "epiphany" will always have a religious connotation--the infant Christ and the Magi--and that sense of the word is not scanted here. A number of the people whose stories Ballard gathers had conversion experiences, or deepened their childhood faith. Others found more earthly answers to the conundra that had stumped them. Still others found the grace to forgive--such as the family who forgave the South African mob that lynched their daughter (herself a civil rights worker).But my favorite story in the whole is that of the professional con artist who had made living robbing appliance stores and hustling other victims--whose epiphany led him to Evangelical Christianity. He now works as a professional magician, and gives seminars to well-meaning, often naive church members on how to recognize con artists and avoid them; in other words, he tells those who are "innocent as doves" how also to be "as wise as serpents." An inspiring and always entertaining read! |
