The Weaver (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781986827812)

THIS POWERFUL allegorical narrative draws us to the Weaver who designed and orchestrates our lives according to His amazing love and wisdom. True stories happen to real people-some undeservedly beautiful, some incredibly painful, and others with life-changing losses. Real stories ignited the allegory of The Weaver many years ago. The relational intimacy of the 139th Psalm, John's description of love throughout his books, God's amazing grace as revealed in Romans, and many other Scriptural passages moved me through this narrative. I wanted you to see God's loving and mighty hand in all the circumstances, joys, and sorrows of our lives. This allegory illustrates how our God-designed personalities intertwine with life experiences to draw us to Jesus, mold us to His image, and move us to love and care for each other better. Originally, I wrote this dramatic story as a multi-media presentation for a pastor's wives retreat. My husband and I persevered through this challenge for five months with our limited multi-media experience and Stone Age equipment that recorded best in the parsonage bathroom. I often prayed, "Lord, please make this easier." He only reassured me of His all-sufficient grace and strength within me to persevere.One week before the retreat, we completed the hour-long allegory with 310 illustrative slides. God initiated, motivated, and finished this mammoth project through two weary servants. The overwhelming response at the retreat surfaced in tears, hugs, and more tears. In the years to follow, we presented this multi-media to many churches and groups, at women's camps and retreats. Many requested a copy of the script. One week before the next pastors' wives retreat, we fulfilled that request with The Weaver book. God's purposes prevailed in spite of more seemingly impossible circumstances.Now, over thirty years later, I revise, add, update, and reprint The Weaver to fulfill a promise to redo this script for those who still ask for copies. Since I wrote the original manuscript, God gave us treasures in painful desert places, now reflected in The Weaver Second Edition. The message remains as pertinent as the first typewritten manuscript to encourage and strengthen you through God's mysterious ways. I pray he flows through your life to encourage and support each other until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
