SEARCHING FOR GOD and FINDING THE TREASURE (Paperback)

Life is a journey - uphill and downhill, across mountains and plains, through paths of revelation and discovery, meaningfulness and adventure. Searching for God and finding the treasure recounts the journey of one woman's search for God as a Catholic Sister working for the Church. She wants to remind readers that the Catholic Church is not the 'perfect society' as the pre-Vatican council documents once described the church. The church, as the Vatican Council documents states, is the 'People of God.' She reveals to the reader that God is a God of surprise. God may be found in unexpected places and people. Where you expect to find God you may be surprised, and where you don't expect to find God, you may also be surprised. She reveals to the reader her experiences of 'being surprised.' But this author's primary message is that God is not a hidden God, and it is Jesus who tells us that where there is love there is God. God is here - in our loving, in our caring, in our generosity and more. God is always with us - even when we are conscious of our failure, our sin and when everything seems to be going wrong, God does not give up on us.
