CWG Book Blast! ‘Encountering Signs of Faith,’ by Allison Gingras

This month, the Catholic Writers’ Guild is touring Allison Gingras’s book, Encountering Signs of Faith. In Encountering Signs of Faith, Allison Gingras opens her heart to you through personal and powerful stories—including the adoption of her Deaf daughter—with the desire that through the devotions of the Catholic faith, all can learn how to hear the message the Lord has specifically for you.

Summary:

What kind of book is this? An adoption story. That’s because every Christian has an adoption story—the story of our adoption through Christ as his brothers and sisters and as children of the Father. With any adoption come new traditions, heirlooms, and the opportunity to create lasting legacies. For Christians, these signs of adoption often come in items such as rosaries, prayer cards, medals, and other sacramentals, which are important avenues for grace and tangible ways to embrace the abundant grace of God.

Excerpt:

Each of us has desires that God longs to fulfill for us. Some are so minute they are fulfilled without our ever recognizing that grace played a role. Sometimes he plants the idea in our hearts early in our lives, like my desire to adopt a child. Other times he works through circumstances to lead us along the right path. The path God had in mind for us sent us on a mission that took us across a continent and an ocean; your mission is just as important, even if it takes you no further than your kitchen table. Either way, it takes courage to seek and to find the Lord’s will for our lives. If your heart is open to what he asks, I can guarantee that God will send you all the graces you need to fulfill his plan for you!
