Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Spanning many years, locations and subjects, Tucson author Lorraine Miller writes a magical tale of her incredible spiritual journey. Weaving topics such as Astrology, Numerology, Channeled Readings, and Animal Teachers into her day-to-day and year-to-year experiences, Lorraine’s story is an inspiration for anyone on a Spiritual Path, as well as those who are seeking knowledge and insights to start their own journey.

Have you ever had a feeling or memory which you couldn’t explain with rationale or questioned the validity of a perception because it is not considered “normal” by society’s standards?

Were there experiences you never shared with anyone because you were afraid they might judge you as strange?

This was Lorraine Miller’s reality from childhood. As she relates the events of her life, she shares her journey of trials and tribulations and the struggle to discern between what is real and what is illusion.

Annotated with Astrological Insights by Philip Comi

Life is a tapestry of events—each one a small thread—leading to a complete picture. When we begin our journey, we can’t perceive the whole and often lose our vision along the path in the emotions of the moment. Often we blindly struggle to find our way and must learn to trust that the threads will ultimately weave a beautiful picture!

As we learn to trust our inner guidance and alter our awareness from the clues left along the path, the weave becomes more precise and the picture clearer. The process is one of alternating hope and despair, joy and sorrow, success and failure. As our journey progresses, we often need to look back and redo some of the threads in order to weave a garment more befitting of us.

My story is one of learning to listen and trust in the Divine Weaver which dwells within each of us. When we allow this superior craftsman to weave the pattern, it will ultimately create a Tapestry of Grace.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Tapestry of Grace, November 11, 2009

This review is from: The Tapestry of Grace: Crafted by The Divine Weaver (Perfect Paperback)

"Our lives consist of many events which in the moment seem random and inconsequential. As we advance in life and the tapestry created by these seemingly unimportant moments begins to become apparent, we get a glimmer of the significance each held. To see the threads of patterns woven throughout the tapestry of our lives in one moment of clarity---that Aha! moment---is the greatest gift we are given by our Creator."

So writes author, seeker and teacher Lorraine Miller in her spell-binder work of truth titled, The Tapestry of Grace. Here we have her autobiography of events in her life remembered, recounted and revealed, and then explained and confirmed by noted astrologer Philip Comi.

And what we learn is that no life (not yours, not mine) is ordinary. We all experience events that seem innocuous. Indeed, this reviewer lived some of the same events but did not connect them to a larger meaning. With this epiphany of understanding comes a new meaning of life. Ms. Miller writes, "It is so important that we meet each day we are given in a positive manner, and live it to the fullest. We need to take the time to let others know how much they mean to us and to support everyone we meet with kindness, as we are all fellow travelers and the road is difficult."

The Tapestry of Grace is based on Lorraine Miller's often startling revelations and quantum-consciousness experiences. "My purpose in telling them is to show how these experiences helped mold the person I would become and see the importance they hold in the bigger picture." Thus we have the means to understand ourselves, and after all, how can we expect another person to understand us when we remain confused about whom we are. And that is the secret of relationships, from personal and global.

The Tapestry of Grace by Lorraine Miller and Philip Comi is a must-read for all seeking direction. In other words, all of us!

This review is from: The Tapestry of Grace: Crafted by The Divine Weaver (Perfect Paperback)

Lorraine Miller's book, The Tapestry of Grace: Crafted by the Divine Weaver, compiles Miller's life story with her experiences in a variety of metaphysical arts, religion, and more. Throughout the book, well-known astrologer, Philip Comi, includes detailed comments and insight from his studies of Miller's astrological chart. In addition, there is a helpful reference guide to astrological terminology, and an interesting supplemental reading list. Readers with a strong background in astrology will enjoy the practical, application of the charts.

Miller's thirst for answers leads her to explore many paths, especially when she's searching for physical healing after a life-changing auto accident. However, like many of life's more adventurous explorers, early trauma and difficulties in day-to-day life sent her searching for answers that would bring peace and contentment, and Miller shares what she learns along the way. She also shares the things that disenchant her and cause her to move on hoping to find better answers. Her objective explanations and experiences help make the story a learning experience for the reader too.

Some drawbacks appear for readers, especially devout Christians, who may not be comfortable with the way Miller easily accepts and weaves metaphysical and alternative beliefs with Christianity. However, there's no question that Miller's experiences and answers are grounded in the Christian faith. For the most part, her research is solid and detailed. A few topics that appear to be incorrect may simply have taken place before today's information became common knowledge, such as changes in medical information and animal care. In places, the timeline was difficult to follow.

Furthermore, well written astrological comments derived from Philip Comi's charts and notes are too technical for readers not versed in astrological charts. I found it intrusive to keep flipping to the glossary and back to the chapter, so I gave much of that information minimal attention.

Miller's life isn't markedly different from others. Many people learn amazing life-lessons and experience startling revelations about themselves. However, Miller did a good job of explaining her journey and her conclusions, as well as showing great fortitude and creativity during tough times. The resources and additional reading list holds great potential for further explorations of any subject that piques the reader's curiosity.

While this isn't a particularly exciting read for someone who is already versed in many alternative ideologies, Miller presents a good example of a person who perseveres. In doing so, she learns to listen to her intuition and trust her instincts in new ways--a type of success many people never achieve.
