'Acknowledging Our Roots',
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Discovering Our Jewish Roots: A Simple Guide to Judaism (Paperback)
Sister Anna Marie Erst was My Aunt, (my late Father Adolph R. Erst's older sister). Anna Marie devoted her entire life to Christ as a young woman, by becoming a Nun, against her own Father's best wishes. Her faith was un-moveable. She worked with so many people of different 'Faiths' and beliefs to bring others together in unity, love, and understanding of one another, traveling far and wide on this Earth, until her recent death just a few years ago. I have not read this book yet, In fact, I did not know it existed until just a few years prior to her passing. I know in my heart that it is an important work, regardless, (especially in light of the turmoil in our present world condition). Knowing her strength and character, I am sure that the inspiration that she poured into her writings would apply at any time in our world's history. I hope to obtain a copy of it soon, and wish to make it known that she still has one admirer in her somewhat detached family, that still cares enough to keep her memory alive and acknowledge the far-reaching, and humbling work she accomplished while on God's Green Earth. An unsung heroin in my book, and I assume, in her own book as well. The title alone shows her courage in facing adversity, and her undying compassion for others not of her native Faith. God Bless you Auntie Anna Marie, and may God keep you, and protect you in his Eternal, Loving Light. Amen
P.S. I have recently purchased this book on Amazon. See my review below. |
