Joyce Ann Edmondson (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 23, 2004

The Listening Tree contains stories about faith, hope, love, children, grandchildren, families, friends, imaginary situations and visions of what the author and others have described as the kingdom of God—already here, not yet. These are stories of life in the South, high school days, college, marriage, death and renewal, and a Redemptorist priest who introduces a young girl to her faith in God. These life-filled stories include Scriptural references that depict real day-to-day situations. How Grandmother learns to meet the challenges of everyday life by inspiring a family to grow in Christ is entertaining as well as inspirational.

I found The Listening Tree quite an exciting read. There are many stories in our world and many that need to be told, I feel Joyce has covered some of the best in her book. It is a book well worth reading, and the stories are quite spiritually impacting...truly The Lord is in every part of human life!

Thank you joyce for the long years of work puting this book together...thank you for calling it to our attention.

This review is from: The Listening Tree: Fifty Stories of Grace-full Everyday Living (Paperback)

The Listening Tree by Joyce Ann Edmondson is filled with charming, elegant and inspiring set of stories, and accompanying each of the stories is a `moral' containing the learning message of the tale, and a `reflection,' evoking positive emotions and the responsibility of ethics.

I feel close to the storyteller, her stories stirred my emotions, amused me, fascinated me and made me think. Through especially "The Run -Away," and her other stories, the author; Joyce Ann Edmondson suggests ever so subtly the different ways in which many of the inner conflicts may be worked through.

Joyce Ann Edmondson is an excellent storyteller. I recommend "The Listening Tree" to anyone wanting to stay up late reading. Her stories will most definitely appeal to multi-age readers. I wasn't able to put it down. I look forward to reading more of Joyce Edmondson's work.

This is a book that will make you remember the faith you had in life and in people. When at times you have thought it was gone. Most of all it reflects the love of God that assures us, that we are not alone. If a reader is looking for inspiration, they will find it among the pages of The Listening Tree.
