I AM HIS MOTHER SPIRITUAL REFLECTION
New CWG member Carlos Solorzano’s book for spiritual reflection builds on an interesting premise. I Am His Mother (CreateSpace, 2011) is a devotional dedicated to the Holy Mother, but with reflections based on a fictional document written by Mary about her Son.
Solorzano expresses this fictionalized idea of Mary reflecting on events from the Gospels as a “gift to the Mother of our Lord and to all of you that love and cherish all that our Blessed Mother has done and continues to do for the Church and for the world.” Solorzano has a special devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe and writes from Her point of view, drawing from his perspective as a father, son, and husband.
A theology teacher at Salpointe Catholic High School for sixteen years as well as an ethics and medical ethics teacher at Brown Mackie College, Solorzano graduated from Cal State Long Beach with a BA and MA in Religious Studies. Besides teaching, Solorzano speaks on faith matters and life issues in the Tucson area, writes, and performs in the Christian band, COME THIRSTY. He is married with two children living in Southern Arizona.
Solorzano’s first work is a novel, Through Time and Eternity, and is currently working on the sequel. He describes Through Time and Eternity as “religious fiction but is a faith journey of a man called by God to literally save the cosmos as we know it.”
Through Time and Eternity tells the story of Joaquin Alameda, a high school religion teacher and kick-boxer, who becomes the center of a cosmic struggle. Joaquin must travel back in time to prevent a demonic attack on divine history while the angels and demons battle once again in the ethereal plane.
Both I Am His Mother and Through Time and Eternity are available through Amazon in paperback.
