Produktbeschreibung

'Come to Me'. To whom? For what? Why? To whom shall we go in situations when we are down, depressed, experiencing a lack of faith, in despair and in pain? Who can help us when we find ourselves in these situations, when life is difficult, and we are hurt by people around us? Who can help whenever one cries out of fear of being abused or ill-treated? Who can help all those who are caught in the dungeon of drugs, prostitution, corruption and other unfortunate situations faced by today's society? To whom shall we go in moments like these? Throughout the different generations, ever since the fall of Adam and Eve, mankind has always been in search of peace in one's heart. The fall of mankind to the kingdom of darkness, brought suffering to existence. Mankind fell into the trap of darkness, and this darkness took control, only until light overpowered such darkness. This 'light', called all mankind by their name, and in man's heart called out: 'Come to Me'. Jesus, the 'light', keeps searching for each person's heart, even if found in the pit of darkness. It infiltrates the hearts of all mankind through His love, by calling each person by name, saying 'Come to Me'. The aim of this book is to encourage the reader to respond to this calling of Jesus, to listen to His voice and to realise that even if man is shrouded in the darkness of evil, His 'light' penetrates the human heart. 'Come to Me', are three simple words that if accepted by any person, by responding to the Lord, by accepting His invitation, in return will receive from Jesus His peace, love, comfort and care. So, it is up to the reader to respond to His calling... 'Come to Me'. Thank you for making time to read this book.

Autorenporträt

During the years 1990 to 1996 I was a full time missionary with 'The International Catholic Programme for Evangelization - ICPE' and have evangelized in various countries, such as Russia, Ghana, Poland, Germany, and Malta amongst others. Since 1997, I am married and am an active member of the Focolare Movement in Malta.

During the six years of my life as a missionary with ICPE', to share His Love in different countries, I did face the challenge of saying 'Yes' to Him. It was a difficult decision to make, as I had to leave everything behind: my family, my friends, giving up my job... But as I had a deep faith in Him, I told Him 'Yes'... I will follow You... trusting, that he would take care of me in all aspects of my life. That prayer of mine opened the doors for me to give my 'Yes' to Him... to follow Him.

In the following six years as a missionary, and also after that time, Jesus has always taken care of me, has always provided me with blessings and grace, and has also taken care of me financially. Through faith, and my personal relationship with Him, He has taught me how to trust Him, and how to really follow Him freely and in peace.

During my time as a missionary with 'ICPE', I recall going through different sacrifices. There were times when as a group we performed a mime in the streets of Germany and other countries, to bring forth the message of Salvation, together with our testimonies and preaching. It wasn't the first time that people watching us made fun of us, laughed at us and ridiculed us. I used to feel the pain... but during the same occasion, I would see other people receiving our message of hope and desiring Jesus... that would encourage me to keep on going spreading the Good News!

Many times, I have turned to Him in prayer for direction in life. He has always shown me the way in these situations. He has shown me what to do and what to say.

My recent experience of Jesus showing me the way, is precisely of writing Christian books. Since the early nineties when I was a missionary, I always felt this desire inside me to write books with a Christian theme. I never really understood what this meant, or maybe I did not take up the challenge at that time. Maybe, I never had the time to do it! Still, over these years I kept feeling that He wanted it from me! Since that time, it has always been in my heart... but it was never fulfilled!

My 'Yes' to take up this challenge happened in November 2...
