5.0 out of 5 stars Ageless & timeless as our cry for guidance from our Creator, March 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Who Am I, God? (Paperback)

Who Am I God, by Marjorie Holmes was given to me in 1970 after the birth of my first child. It has guided me, comforted and given words to my deepest feeling. It covers the universal joys and challanges of life including the death of a child. The Bible and this book consoled me after our daughter died in 1993. It is ageless and timeless, whispering the words we speak in the silence of our hearts to our Creator. I am purchasing a copy for my daughter who is a young mother.

One should not categorise it as woman oriented since the other is a woman; Should we say David's psalms for men only? or Job's cry for men onyl; The book belong to this category in its theme. Even in Bible,we come across the woman at Jacob's well who may be the first to carry the Good news to her village; For some interested to look for similar themes in Hindusim, I can draw attention to Kunti's prayers; Meera's Bhajans; Gopika's geetham ( Bhagavatam). There are exactly same in the focus, but they are conversation with God. Even in India, a modern women will find easier to identify with the Majorie Holmes rather than characters in Hindu puranas; So Who AM I, God? is a good gift for any boby ( male or female). She seeks support from God to deal with the question of fatal attraction. She seeks guidance from God to deal with depression,divorce... She seeks support for quitting smoking. So....
