This review is from: Touching the Clouds: Encouraging Stories to Make Your Faith Soar (Paperback)

"Is it requiring steps of faith" is the fourth question in the six-question method for spiritual discernment in my book (Direction: Discernment for the Decisions of Your Life) so I read Fran's book with speacial interest. If you've ever wondered what "walking in faith" looks like in real ife, Touching the Clouds is a book for you. You'll be challenged and encouraged in your faith-walk, and with the faith-lifters at the end of each chapter, you'll also learn how to make faith your dominant stride. This is a book I'm recommending to all who attend my retreats and day seminars, and it is a book you'll want to buy for all of your friends.

This review is from: Touching the Clouds: Encouraging Stories to Make Your Faith Soar (Paperback)

Fran Caffey Sandin has done a wonderful job of putting together very important short pieces to address the things that plague Christians and non-Christians alike, and each different piece gives hope in the Lord for each different difficult scenario.

After reading I sent the book on to a young man who is a family friend. His brother just committed suicide and this will help him to know that others have had to deal with the same issues he is with regards to his loss.

Way to go Fran et al!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ordinary Women, Extraordinary Faith, April 30, 2004

This review is from: Touching the Clouds: Encouraging Stories to Make Your Faith Soar (Paperback)

"Touching the Clouds" will make any woman do just that. This is an encouraging book filled with sensitive, sometimes heart-rendering, yet authentic stories of women who have planted their feet on the ground, but who have firmly rooted their faith in the "heavenlies." In these uplifting stories, Fran Sandin captured the extraordinary faith of each ordinary woman. However, she allowed us to see that this same power, love, and faith in God that sustained each one through some incredible circumstances are available to everyone. Her Biblical and practical helps following each chapter brought further credibility and motivation for me to keep "touching the clouds" no matter what happens in life. Great book!"
